As junior Missouri receiver Richaud Floyd went through pregame warmups Saturday, he felt fresh. The feeling didn’t leave when the game started, and it wasn’t gone when he hauled in his first catch of the season, a 17-yard grab early in the third quarter.
“I felt like a freshman all over again just getting out there on the field for the first time,” Floyd said at practice Tuesday.
He had good reason. Floyd missed the first six games of the season because of a broken bone in his leg and saw his first action of the year Saturday against Memphis.
