ASMUSSEN'S UPDATES: It's a tossup at backup running back behind Daniel Dufrene. Jason Ford, Mikel Leshoure and Troy Pollard are all capable and might all see playing time against Missouri. If there are any injuries on the offensive line, Randall Hunt continues as the primary backup for all spots except center. Donsay Hardeman missed valuable practice time, which moves Bo Flowers to No. 1 at safety. The top five safeties, including Garrett Edwards, will all play. And a couple of the freshmen might get in the mix too.
