Emanuel Hall’s first touchdown of the season came by accident.
As quarterback Drew Lock looked for Hall halfway through the first quarter of Missouri’s season opener against Tennessee-Martin, the receiver was covered.
Thinking on his feet, Hall found a hole, cut right and split a pair of defensive backs. He caught a 34-yard touchdown a few seconds later. The player NFL evaluators thought only knew the go route had just improvised mid-play and scored off a post.
The Skyhawks put Hall, who established himself as a deep threat last season, in one-on-one coverage. He took it personally.
