Cody Schrader draws praise for incredible first-half performance vs. Tennessee
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Cody Schrader transferred from Division II Truman State prior to last season (has the CBS broadcast mentioned that yet?), and this year, he’s become a star for the Missouri Tigers.
In the first half against Tennessee on Saturday, he’s made an impact as both a receiver and a running back. He’s put up 105 rushing yards and 93 receiving yards through 2 quarters, leading the game in both categories.
And he scored the Tigers’ only first-half touchdown, as you can see below. This run was his 11th of the season and it gave the Tigers a 13-7 lead:

Schrader’s efforts helped the Tigers take a 13-7 lead into halftime. The Tigers will need a few more big plays from the star running back to get this victory, though.
