Luther Burden should absolutely touch the football more for Missouri. So, Eli Drinkwitz must have agreed and sent his 5-star freshman wide receiver out for his first career punt return.
Burden took the punt on a bounce, and he delivered with a 78-yard touchdown return. In fact, nobody on Abilene Christian’s special teams even touched him.
This happened weekly for Burden in high school, as the Mizzou receiver was the nation’s No. 1 ranked pass catcher in the nation.

Missouri leads Abilene Christian 7-0 early in the first quarter, and its looking to bounce back this week after suffering a humiliating 40-12 loss to Kansas State.
