BenFred: Like Mizzou's season, Cody Schrader's inspiring success story just keeps getting better

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Which one was your favorite?

Was it the 31-yard lightning bolt that broke whatever will Tennessee had left and set the stage for Cody Schrader to be lifted atop his teammate’s shoulders while they chanted his name into the night?

Was it after Tennessee’s costly fumble, when on his 33rd carry, Schrader turned what looked like a run stuffed at the line of scrimmage into a Big Orange pile carried for a gain of 8 yards?

Was it earlier in the fourth quarter, when Mizzou’s little engine that could — coach Eli Drinkwitz prefers ‘Little Superman’ — who stands at a generously listed 5 feet 9 and 215 pounds, was absolutely leveled by 6-foot-2, 340-pound defensive lineman Elijah Simmons, then got up as fast as his tackler did, then shrugged?
