Missouri's Star RB Nate Noel Out for Crucial Alabama Clash

Nate Noel's foot injury sidelines him for Missouri's pivotal SEC matchup against Alabama, impacting the Tigers' offensive strategy.

Mizzou's leading rusher Nate Noel, with 503 yards this season, will miss the game against Alabama due to a foot injury.
Noel's absence shifts focus to senior Marcus Carroll, who has 321 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season.
The injury occurred during Missouri's recent win over Auburn, where Noel managed just six carries for 32 yards.
Missouri, currently 6-1, faces a critical game against Alabama, with a second loss potentially derailing their SEC title hopes.
After the Alabama game, Missouri will have a bye week to reassess Noel's condition before facing unranked opponents.
