Week 3 of the college football season is over, and the Missouri Tigers are undefeated with a 3-0 record. They have looked dominant in each game, with wins against Central Arkansas, Kansas, and Louisiana. Running back Ahmad Hardy was huge in their win against Louisiana and a massive difference maker.
After the dominant win, the Tigers announced their players of the game across offense, defense, and special teams. The players are Ahmad Hardy at running back, Drey Norwood at cornerback, and Nick Deloach Jr. on special teams.

Ahmad Hardy carried the Tigers on his back. He had 250 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on 22 carries. He also averaged 11.4 yards per carry against the Ragin’ Cajuns. He took all of the attention for himself on offense, but it is worth noting that Beau Pribula threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns while only having one interception.
Hardy was the game’s big story, but Norwood was recognized on defense for his 2 tackles, including 1 for a loss. Then, Deloach Jr. was also recognized for his two tackles on special teams in the return game.
This game is the latest example of how well the Missouri Tigers are playing, and they should be able to continue that play against a South Carolina team that is also dealing with injuries, especially under center, with LaNorris Sellers potentially missing the game due to a concussion.
