COLUMBIA, Mo. — There’s a lot to like about Missouri’s offense through two days of preseason camp. The Tigers feature established and productive players at nearly every position, from quarterback to running back, from wideout to tight end and across the offensive line.
Asked about his team’s “great depth” at running back on Friday, offensive coordinator Derek Dooley smirked, repeated the question and all but slipped back into his former life as an Atlanta attorney and shouted, “OBJECTION!”
Damarea Crockett’s unexpected but hardly shocking decision to enter the NFL draft left the Tigers with just two returning running backs with significant game experience.
