Mizzou RB not playing in Liberty Bowl

Missouri will be missing a key contributor on offense in the Liberty Bowl.

Reports from Memphis are that Tigers RB Damarea Crockett did not dress for warmups and will not play against Oklahoma State. Crockett is second on the team in rushing with 709 yards on 147 carries. RB Larry Rountree III leads the ground attack with 1,012 yards on 198 carries in 2018.

Further details of Crockett’s absence are unclear as there does not seem to be consensus among the beat reporters.

Crockett missed the season finale against Arkansas due to an ankle/toe injury. Piecing the above reports from the beat would indicate he traveled to Memphis and practiced, but ultimately was unable to play Monday.

The good news for the Tigers is that Crockett and TE Albert Okwuegbunam appear to be the only impact players absent on offense.
