What’s there left to say? Tyler Badie, the change-of-pace running back whose ability to carry the load was questioned in the offseason, is now Mizzou’s single-season rushing yards record holder. He did it with both efficiency and bruising strength, carrying the rock 41 times to the tune of 219 yards. That’s impressive enough without accounting for the fact that Missouri’s offense was helpless to do anything else. But even as they stacked the box, Badie continued to run through the Razorback defense.
Badie says he wants to play in Mizzou’s upcoming bowl, and we certainly wouldn’t begrudge the chance to see him play in black and gold again.
