Quote from Matter's story:
Heading into Saturday’s home finale against Florida, Badie ranks fourth nationally with 1,239 rushing yards, already the fifth-most in school history for a single season, with 19 touchdowns rushing and receiving, the most end zone visits for a Mizzou player in eight years — with two, maybe three games to play.
This week, Badie was named one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nation’s best running back. No other back from the Southeastern Conference made the cut.
He could become Mizzou’s first All-American running back since Devin West in 1998.
How valuable has Badie been for Mizzou?
“He’s been five wins valuable,” Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz said this week. “I don’t know that we have wins if not for Tyler Badie.”
