2020 Missouri Football Position Previews: Running Backs

Related Topics: Missouri, Tyler, Detroit Tigers

The Missouri offense ended up being very bad last year but I still don’t understand how. Whether it be scheme, quality of opponent, injuries we didn’t hear about or...magic?...the Tigers were incapable of moving the ball effectively, even at the beginning of the year when everyone was healthy. And while an inconsistent passing game was a major culprit, the biggest shock was how they absolutely stunk at running the ball.

Part of that was the offensive line, yes: the line was getting runners five yards on their carries 43.4% of the time which ranked 106th in the country.
