COLUMBIA, MO. • The last time a Southeastern Conference team ran for more yards against Florida than Missouri did Saturday, Hillary Clinton was the First Lady, Barry Odom was fresh out of college, Mark McGwire and Will Clark played for the Cardinals, and “Remember the Titans” ruled the box office.
Not since Mississippi State swamped the Gators for 351 rushing yards on Sept. 30, 2000 had a team run through the Florida defense like the Tigers did in Saturday’s waterlogged game in Gainesville. Splitting touches in their backfield timeshare, Damarea Crockett and Ish Witter garnered 265 yards on 46 carries, MU’s best rushing performance in an SEC game since 2014.
