Jamal Roberts News: Co-starting in Week 1

Roberts is listed as a co-starter with Ahmad Hardy in Week 1 on Missouri's initial depth chart.

Roberts will push Hardy for carries, but after the latter ran for over 1,300 yards last season at UL-Monroe, Hardy figures to be the lead back in this situation. Still, the incumbent Roberts ran for 216 yards and three scores with Missouri last fall, and should be no slouch either on the ground for the Tigers. Both backs figure to get involved, but this is likely a 1A, 1B situation with Hardy as the 1A.
