No. 23 Mizzou at Vanderbilt — How does one stop Luther Burden? Asking for a friend.
Imagine being Clark Lea and digging into the Mizzou game film. You know that you’ve got a depleted secondary, and you had perhaps heard that Luther Burden was having a big year, but then you actually see the things he’s doing. He’s beating teams deep, he’s been devastating in space and he’s catching everything thrown his way. He said “he doesn’t think anyone can tackle him in the open field” … is he wrong? Burden’s switch to the slot receiver position has been a revelation for the 4-0 Tigers, who are seeking their first win vs. a Power 5 team while ranked inside the AP Top 25 since 2014. Burden is:
A) PFF’s highest-graded WR in FBS
B) Averaging 126 receiving yards/game
C) T-No. 2 among Power 5 players in catches
D) Accountable for 45% of Mizzou’s receiving yards
E) All the above
It’s “E.” It’s always “E.”
