Missouri’s depth showed up in sizable proportions in its 27-20 victory over Memphis in the first ever edition of the Zou to the Lou series.
On the third offensive play from scrimmage for MU, the offensive staff called upon wide receiver Marquis Johnson, a true freshman with just one reception through three weeks of play.
That lone catch came last week against Kansas State. Johnson created separation on Wildcats defensive back Marques Sigle, hauling in the reception for a 42-yard gain which ultimately set up a Harrison Mevis field goal.
After the game, Mookie Cooper described Johnson as the fastest wide receiver on the roster.
