The Missouri Tigers shouldn’t have too much trouble getting past Idaho at home on Saturday, but they’ll have to do so without a star player.
According to two Mizzou reporters, star RB Damarea Crockett is not in uniform and will not play in Saturday’s homecoming game.
Crockett has been dealing with a shoulder injury that has hampered his production in recent weeks, so he’ll get an extra week of rest against the Vandals:

Crockett has run for 481 yards and two touchdowns on 80 carries and has added four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the passing game.
In Crockett’s absence, Ish Witter and Larry Rountree III will get a lot more work as they try to lead the Mizzou rushing attack.
Check out Mizzou’s game against Idaho at 11 a.m. Central time on the SEC Network.
