It had been a long six weeks since Drew Lock had his No. 1 receiver to throw to.
In fact, Emanuel Hall hadn’t even caught a pass since Missouri’s Week 3 win over Purdue, as he dealt with a groin injury that limited him throughout that game and the ensuing game against Georgia. Hall, who had been one of the top receivers in the Southeastern Conference through the first three weeks, was almost nonexistent against the Bulldogs, not even catching a single pass as the injury limited him against one of the nation’s top teams.
He didn’t make the trip to South Carolina the week after as he stayed in Columbia to rehab, and he then hit another road block with the death of his father.
