At Monday's Missouri preview press conference, Pete Golding said Kewan Lacy came in Sunday far less sore than expected, that the offensive staff managed him through the first half, and that once the game got away the decision was made they didn't need him after the break. Same plan this week. On Mekhi Frazier: a really good week of practice out of the bye, and he separated himself from the other backs on balance, body control and protection. Frazier led the team with 73 rushing yards on Saturday, his best game as a Rebel, per the school's postgame notes. Shekai Mills-Knight broke a 35-yard touchdown, the first of his career. Golding said the room erupted when the play came up on the explosive reel Sunday night — and that it's the staff's responsibility to create more opportunities for him. Segment two: Golding said getting Caleb Cunningham back healthy "will really help open up Deuce." He also said everyone knows how explosive Deuce Alexander is, so there will be weeks a defense takes him out of the game entirely — which opens things up for everybody else. That's the mechanism. You don't free your best receiver by throwing at him more. You free him by making every other option expensive. The explosive reel had seven different players on it, and Trinidad Chambliss threw three touchdowns to three different receivers, per the school. The honest counterweight: Vanderbilt's front is not Missouri's, and Golding said getting Caleb back healthy — meaning he isn't all the way back yet. Who is the one Missouri can't cover?
