COLUMBIA, MO. • At last week’s news conference, Missouri coach Barry Odom said he expected wide receiver Emanuel Hall to play against South Carolina. We know what happened next: Hall’s groin injury kept him at home. The same for fellow senior wideout Nate Brown.
“I still don’t anticipate him being at a speed that he’ll be able to play yet,” Odom said Tuesday. “I’d like to tell you when that will be, but it’s not for a lack of effort from Emanuel or our sports medicine staff. They’ve done absolutely everything they can to get him right and back there.
