Mizzou fans sound off about lack of involvement for Luther Burden vs. Ohio State in 1st half
Mizzou #Mizzou
Missouri fans are not happy about the way the first half of the Cotton Bowl has gone. The team is only down 3-0, but the offense has not gotten into any rhythm, and star wide receiver Luther Burden III has not been involved.
At the half, Burden has just 1 catch for 5 yards. That 1 catch came on the Tigers’ final drive before the half. Burden recorded at least 50 receiving yards in 10 of Mizzou’s 12 regular season games this season.
Quarterback Brady Cook attempted just 11 passes in the first half and threw for only 28 yards. Instead, Mizzou decided to lean on its running game. The Tigers went for 84 yards on 21 rush attempts before the break.
Overall, Mizzou averaged just 3.5 yards per play offensively in the first half.
