Tyler Badie is making the most of his first season as Missouri's featured back. The senior from New Orleans is the only player in the country to run for at least 200 yards in four different games this season. His latest was Saturday, when he carried 34 times for 209 in a 31-28 win over South Carolina. Badie came into the year having never run for more than 79 yards in any of his 34 career games. He's gone over 200 against Central Michigan, North Texas, Vanderbilt and the Gamecocks. Interestingly, his highest rushing total in his six other games was 81 yards. His 123.9 yards per game ranks first in the Southeastern Conference and fourth nationally. Badie in his first three years at Missouri had primarily been a changeup from starter Larry Rountree, now a rookie with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Badie is among three SEC players since 2000 to record four 200-yard games in a season and is the first to do it nationally since Oklahoma State's Chuba Hubbard and Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor in 2019. Badie has 1,239 rushing yards this season and needs 340 over the next two games and a possible bowl to break Devin West's single-season school record of 1,578 in 1998. Also turning in 200-yard rushing games this past week were UNLV's Charles Williams, who had 266 on 38 carries against Hawaii on Saturday and Central Michigan's Lew Nichols, who had 215 on 43 runs against Kent State on Wednesday. Nichols' 43 carries matched Duke's Mataeo Durant for most in a game this season. No one has had more attempts since 2017. - AP College Football

Tyler Badie rushed 34 times for 209 yards and a touchdown and Missouri held off South Carolina's fourth-quarter charge to defeat the Gamecocks 31-28 on Saturday. The Tigers (5-5, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) built a 17-point lead when Badie scored on a 19-yard run with 12:31 left in the game. That's when the opportunistic Gamecocks (5-5, 2-5 SEC) made things interesting by converting two Missouri turnovers into touchdowns and slicing the deficit to three points with 4:32 left. But they never saw the ball again, thanks to Badie, who rushed for 63 yards on the final drive.

The game turned late in the third quarter when blitzing safety Martez Manuel jarred the ball from South Carolina quarterback Jason Brown and defensive end Trajan Jeffcoat recovered in the end zone to give the Tigers a 10-point lead. Missouri's Connor Bazelak completed 15 of 23 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Mookie Cooper had three catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. Brown, who was making his second start of the year, completed 16 of 30 passes for 193 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Josh Vann had five catches for 62 yards and a touchdown. But the Gamecocks rushed for just 57 yards against a defense that entered the game allowing 270 yards per game on the ground. - Missouri/AP College Football

Tyler Badie set the offensive pace for the Missouri Tigers on Saturday afternoon with two rushing touchdowns and 294 total yards in a 37-28 Southeastern Conference win over Vanderbilt. Badie, who was leading the SEC with 143.6 all-purpose yards per game heading in, touched the ball 39 times - rushing for 254 yards on 31 carries and catching nine passes for 40 yards. "Tyler Badie is a great player," Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said. "I have been saying it for a long time. He is the best player nobody is talking about. "He is really the engine that drives us. He has a big heart. He is a competitor. He wants to win. I want to win. This team wants to win." After allowing Missouri (4-4, 1-3) to take a 10-0 first-quarter lead, the Commodores rallied. An interception by Vanderbilt's Max Worship at the Commodores' 2-yard line set up a scoring drive, culminating with Mike Wright hitting Cam Johnson over the middle for a 7-yard TD.

The Commodores (2-7, 0-5), who have lost 18 straight SEC games, pulled ahead 14-10 in the second quarter on a 10-yard run by Patrick Smith. After a fake Vanderbilt field-goal attempt resulted in a 5-yard rushing loss by kicker Joseph Bulovas, Missouri took over with 15 seconds left in the first half. That was enough time for Connor Bazelak to fire a 45-yard scoring strike to Keke Chism, giving the Tigers a 17-14 lead at halftime. Missouri extended its lead to 24-14 on a 15-yard TD run by Badie with 5:28 left in the third quarter. Mike Wright connected with Gavin Schoenwald for a 4-yard TD - keyed by Wright's 70-yard run on first down - on the ensuing drive to pull the Commodores within three points heading into the final quarter. Wright also set up Vanderbilt's first TD with a 69-yard run. - Missouri/AP College Football

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz called running back Tyler Badie the "least-talked-about great player in the country." Badie turned in another under-the-radar classic Saturday, rushing for a career-high 217 yards and scoring three touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 48-35 victory over North Texas. "That sucker is gritty," Drinkwitz said. Badie averaged 12.8 yards per carry and had four runs of at least 30 yards. Late in the third quarter, North Texas defensive back DeShawn Gaddie stood up Badie and had him in a headlock before he somehow slipped free and ran for 42 yards. Even Badie struggled to explain that one. "I closed my eyes, and I wasn't down, so I just kept running," he said. Missouri (3-3) opened a 31-7 halftime lead, but North Texas (1-4) started hitting big pass plays to keep the score competitive.

Austin Aune completed 16 of 26 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns. The Mean Green outgained the Tigers 493-474 but couldn't overcome three turnovers, including a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown by defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo. "We played hard and fought for each other, which is something we can build on," North Texas coach Seth Littrell said. "We played with emotion, but eventually we have to get out of our own way. We are taking turns making errors." Missouri quarterback Connor Bazelak completed 21 of 32 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns, including a 41-yard scoring pass to JJ Hester. Dawson Downing put the game away in the final four minutes with a 60-yard touchdown run. By that point, Badie was relaxing on the sideline, getting a well-earned break. He had a low profile entering the season because he backed up workhorse Larry Rountree the past three years. With Rountree moving on to the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers this year, Badie is getting his chance to shine. - Missouri/AP College Football

SEPT 27 SUN BELT OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Nate Noel, App State, (So., RB – Miami, Fla.),...Mountaineers sophomore running back Nate Noel rushed for a career-high 187 yards in App State's 31-30 come-from-behind victory over Marshall. The Miami, Fla., native racked up 104 of his yards in the fourth quarter, including 87 on the final drive of the game that sealed the Mountaineers' win. On a breakaway run with less than two minutes remaining, instead of scoring and giving Marshall the ball back, Noel slid down at the 5-yard line to allow App State to kneel out the rest of the clock for the one point win. - Sun Belt Football

Before transferring from Tulsa, the rangy 6-foot-2 cornerback had conversations with his family about turning pro but wanted to use his final year to compete against the best. He played in nine games last year and recorded 29 tackles, a forced fumble and three passes defended. "I knew I had three options: go to the NFL, go back to Tulsa and stay there for my last year, or transfer," he said. "I decided to come back just so I can grow as a person and grow into the young man that I know I will be and just develop as a player a little bit more." - Post-Dispatch

Tyler Badie's never had to be the dominating presence in Missouri's running back room before now. In his three-plus years in Columbia, there's always been a more experienced and older tailback in one of the seats next to him such as Larry Rountree and Damarea Crockett. Badie might not be the eldest among the running backs in 2021, with Dawson Downing entering his sixth season of college football, but he's expected to be the Tigers' primary running back for the first time. "I feel like titles are kind of overemphasized," Badie said. "I don't want to feel like I'm the guy. I just want to be a helpful person to the team. I feel like roles and titles get thrown around way too much and I feel like it's more of a team effort that helps the whole team win. That's the biggest thing for us." It's hard to ignore Badie's potential, however. In 2019, he was the first running back to lead the Tigers in pass receptions in a season since Brock Olivo accomplished the feat in 1995. Last season, Badie wasn't far off from headlining that category again with 28 catches, seven behind leader Keke Chism. He tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns (2) alongside Tauskie Dove and Niko Hea. - Columbia Daily Tribune

University of Arkansas redshirt sophomore safety Jalen Catalon was on the second-team defense for The Associated Press All-American preseason teams announced Monday. Catalon had 99 tackles and three interceptions last season when he was a first-team choice on the AP's All-SEC team. He is the only Razorback on AP's two preseason teams. "Honestly, it's a blessing and I'm glad they picked me to be on it," Catalon said after Monday's practice while crediting his teammates and coaches. "But I'm not really going to pay too much mind to it. Just going to keep my eyes focused on the goal, and that's winning games and doing anything I can to make the team better."

Catalon is one of 18 SEC players on the preseason teams from among nine SEC teams. "I think every conference has good football players," Catalon said. "It doesn't matter where you go. "But just from me, I might just be biased from playing in it, but as far as the SEC goes, every week you're going to play somebody that's a top guy when it comes to being drafted. You're always going to have consistent players, ones that are going to be top guys. That definitely shows based on that list itself." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Slowly but surely, a trio of former Tulsa players and coaches found their new homes at Missouri. First it was secondary coach Aaron Fletcher, who came to Columbia the same week spring camp started this year. Then, through the transfer portal, two of Fletchers' former pupils reunited with him. Akayleb Evans committed to the Tigers in June, followed soon after by Allie Green. "They'll definitely be a tremendous help," Fletcher said. "... They're happy to be here. Coach (Eli) Drinkwitz has done a wonderful job with them. The team has done a wonderful job of welcoming those guys in. So it's been huge, it's been a blessing." Fletcher thought Green and Evans might've gone to the NFL before he left Tulsa, making a second chance to coach them even more special.

Evans said he considered three options after the 2020 season ended - declaring for the NFL Draft, going back to Tulsa or transferring. Evans decided to remain in college, and he was a full participant in the Golden Hurricane's spring practice. After the spring, Evans talked things over with his family and determined it was best to enter the transfer portal. "Even when I entered the portal, I wasn't 100% sure I was going to leave Tulsa," Evans said. "And I was upfront with that to the coaches there." - Columbia Daily Tribune

Mizzou announced team captains on Sunday, as voted by teammates: offensive guard Case Cook, quarterback Connor Bazelak and safety Martez Manuel. Cook is a two-time captain after earning the honor last season, too. "It means a lot, especially this being the second time," Cook said after Monday's practice. "Like I've said before, and these guys probably know I wouldn't be anything without these guys, so for them to select me to be their leader and our captain it's like the greatest honor in my mind that you can receive as a member of a team, especially a football team." Cook will be a three-year starter at right guard, while Bazelak and Manuel both became regular starters last year. - Post-Dispatch

Linebacker Blaze Alldredge has already made a strong impression on the coaching staff, so much that he earned his jersey number before his first official practice. The graduate transfer from Rice will wear No. 25, which has been a linebacker tradition at Mizzou for more than a decade since the passing of Aaron O'Neal in 2005. Jamal Brooks had worn 25 for the last four years but transferred to South Alabama this offseason. MU's other newcomers wore blank jerseys Friday. - Post-Dispatch
