Of course, the main element that allows either of these units to work infallibly, is a well-developed offensive line. Fortunately, Missouri’s line has at least a year of experience.

With at least a year’s experience, most of the receivers will be better ready to make an impact for Mizzou.

Missouri really needs more consistency from its top receivers.

While any team wants to field the best playmakers available, the reality is that a team must work with the personnel it has.

The athletes who form Missouri’s receiving core have individual strengths which they can play to the others’ weaknesses.
