COLUMBIA, Mo. - If we voted on the MVP of Missouri’s 2020 offense the results would turn into a landslide. No run-offs. No recalls. The ball was nowhere safer this season than in the hands of No. 34.
The 10-game body of work for Larry Rountree III was historic in some senses when it comes to pure volume. First, his 97.2 rushing yards per game marked the most for a Mizzou running back since Henry Josey in 2011 (116.8), making this arguably the best season for a Mizzou running back since the Tigers joined the Southeastern Conference. Remember, instead of playing eight SEC games and four nonconference contests, the Tigers played 10 SEC opponents, adding Alabama and LSU to the mix, in favor BYU, Louisiana, Eastern Michigan and Central Arkansas.
