Tyler Badie is having a stellar season, and it’s no secret. Each week he improbably seems to take his game to another level, and against Vanderbilt on Saturday, he might’ve put together the best performance for a Missouri skill position player in over a decade.
On 39 touches, the senior running back accounted for 294 yards of total offense and two touchdowns. After the stellar performance, Badie currently sits atop the SEC in almost every single statistical category for a running back, and his numbers look even better when you compare them nationally.
Badie is fourth in rushing yards, second in yards from scrimmage, third in touchdowns from scrimmage, and third in all-purpose yards all while going up against SEC defenses that key specifically in on him each and every week.
