Mizzou Loses Key Defender for Season, ESPN Preseason All-America Team, Who Leads SEC in Rushing & Receiving

Locked On SEC – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

On today's show, we react to the news as another SEC key contributor is lost for the season, this time it's Mizzou's edge rusher Darris Smith, who just transferred in after two seasons at Georgia. While he may not have started, Smith was expected to be a key rotational piece for Missouri this season, on a defense that lost stud sacker Darius Robinson. But Johnny Walker Jr is back along with Joe Moore III, and they've added transfers in Zion Young and Eddie Kelly along with top recruit Williams Nwaneri.

We also react to ESPN's Preseason All-America First Team Offense and Defense. A ton of SEC names on the list, but some key notables not making the cut. It looks like they love what the SEC has on the offensive and defensive lines. No surprise with big names like Carson Beck, Luther Burden, James Pearce and Harold Perkins making the preseason list.

And we run through the Vegas odds on who they think will lead the SEC in rushing and receiving this year. Obviously with Texas losing CJ Baxter for the season, many believe Jaydon Blue has a chance to be a workhorse for the Longhorns. Meanwhile, Luther Burden is the overwhelming pick to lead the SEC in receiving yards, and you know Brady Cook will do his best to make that happen at Mizzou.
