His time to launch

FAYETTEVILLE -- Missouri running back Damarea Crockett has been waiting to play the University of Arkansas.

Waiting and waiting.

"It feels like something I've been waiting for my whole life," Crockett said Monday. "The fact you get to play your home state, it means more."

Crockett, a junior from Little Rock Christian, has been waiting three years to play the Razorbacks.

After rushing for 225 yards at Tennessee in 2016 to give him 1,062 through 11 games -- setting Missouri freshman records for a game and season -- Crockett didn't play against Arkansas in the finale because he was suspended following an arrest for marijuana possession.
