You want to use the injury excuse? Really? How about us losing the top 4 RBs at various points of the season. Losing our starting left tackle for the year. Our starting center missed most of the games this year. Having our kicker hampered throughout the year due to injury. We were without multiple players on defense. One of our top defensive ends, Brad Madison played the season with a bad knee and where he couldn't raise one of his arms above his shoulder requiring surgery. We lost our starting middle linebacker for the year. We had multiple injuries knocking out some of our starters in the secondary.

Missouri was one of the most banged up teams in the nation last year.


If the big 12 wore your team down last year then you won't make it out of september without some major depth issues.

It isn't a matter of being "worn" down. There were a crazy number of fluke injuries. There were numerous starters lost before the season even began.

I had never seen anything like it. The plus is a lot of depth got significant playing time, which will help this coming season. Most people don't realize that Missouri was basically three plays away from an 11-win season.
