TUSCALOOSA, ALA. • For the second week in a row, Drew Lock’s wide receiver corps was missing its two most experienced pair of hands. Missouri senior receivers Emanuel Hall and Nate Brown did not make the trip to Alabama, both still nursing groin injuries the last several weeks.
Missouri officials also confirmed that Hall’s father Daton Hall died suddenly on Thursday. The cause of death was not known as of Saturday. As the team headed to Alabama on Friday, Hall went home to Nashville, Tenn., to be with his family. It’s uncertain when he’ll return to the team.
