Bill C.: Missouri's had a history of playing true-freshman as little-used understudies, then unleashing them the next season. Jerrell Jackson and Wes Kemp combined for 10 catches in 2008, then 60 in 2009. T.J. Moe caught two passes in 2009, then 92 in 2010. Marcus Lucas caught three in 2010, then 23 in 2011.
There's been enough depth in the pipeline of late that Mizzou has been able to lean mostly on upperclassmen -- the top three receivers in 2012, seven of eight in 2013, and the top four in 2014 were all either juniors or seniors.
