Jeremy Maclin will be chatting with ESPN.com this evening. Here’s the info from their website:
Welcome to The Show! On Monday, Missouri sophomore wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will stop by to chat about his team’s 4-0 start.
Maclin and the Tigers are second in the nation with a 53.8 scoring average. Missouri rested with a bye week in Week 5, but travel to Nebraska on Oct. 4.
The 6-foot, 200-pounder leads Missouri in receiving yards with 391, which is also 13th in the country. His 26 receptions are tied for 17th in the country and his four TD catches are tied for 12th.
Maclin, a Kirkwood, Mo. native, stormed on to the college football scene last year. He had 80 catches for 1,055 yards and nine TDs.
Send your questions now for Maclin and join the chat on Monday at 5:30 p.m. ET!
Head over quickly if you want your questions answered.

Defensive backs better check themselves when they’re guarding Jeremy Maclin. Not only can he burn them 1 on 1 for the deep ball, but he’ll use his physical strength to knockem’ down in press coverage.
You don’t want to mess with him.

Jeremy Maclin and the Missouri Tigers sealed a 42-21 victory over Buffalo on the road Saturday. Offensively the Tigers looked great. Daniel was distributed the ball and looking downfield. From Rotoworld.com …
After a slow start to the season, sophomore wideout for the Missouri Tigers, Jeremy Maclin, seems to have recomposed himself, this week — for the second time in a row — grabbing over 150 yards of receiving and scoring at least one touchdown in a single game, in this instance, against the Buffalo Bulls
The only problem came from a case of fumblitis. “It’s unacceptable,” said Jeremy Maclin, who had one of the fumbles for the Tigers. “All three coming from the receiving corps, we’re better than that. We’ve got to get that corrected, high and tight the way the coaches preach.” Maclin was particularly upset because his fumble set up a Buffalo touchdown. “It’s all on me. I didn’t get the ball wrapped up tight enough. That’s pretty much all.”
I’d hate for Jeremy too get too hard on himself though. He did still put up 193 yards of offense! In case you missed his touchdown run, I’ve posted a video of it.

The no. 5 ranked University of Missouri Tigers ( the nation’s No. 1 ranked offense) will welcome over 65,000 fans (will any Buffalo fans show up?) to Saturday’s football game against Buffalo. Kickoff for the 5th-ranked Tigers’ game is set for 1:00 p.m. CT.
The man behind Jeremy Maclin’s great success, Chase Daniel, said “We want to score every time we touch the ball.” Hell yeah! That’s the Mizzou spirit we’re looking for. Jeremy blew up like a volcano last week catching 6 balls for 172 yards. He’ll definitely be looking for similar production this week against an absolute terrible Buffalo team. I don’t even know what the line is on this game, but it’s got to be close to 45 points.
Jeremy Maclin has 5 touchdowns on the year so far (4 receiving and 1 punt return). I think he can add 2-3 more touchdowns to that total by the end of the game tomorrow. Jeremy is a huge talent and is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. I’m envious of everyone who’s going to the game. It should be an exciting, high scoring affair. Go Tigers!

And by “explodes”, I mean puts up monster numbers. They should earn him some kind of SEC Player of the Week Honor. In Missouri’s 69-17 victory over Nevada on Saturday, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin had 6 catches for 172 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had 2 kickoff returns and 4 punt returns for a total 62 yards. Things got kicked off during Missouri’s second drive when Chase Daniel hit Maclin for an 80 yard bomb.
The Missourian said:
Daniel’s record-breaking throw didn’t look like much before Maclin got hold of it. Still needing more than 40 yards to earn his spot at the top of the record book, Daniel hit the speedster on a short pass over the middle, and the All-American turned it into something special, dodging defenders and sprinting down the left sideline for the touchdown that perhaps only fans immediately realized was special.
“I had no idea what his stats were,” Maclin said. “But I’d do anything to help that guy.”
The Missouri Tigers love to throw the rock, it’s the perfect system for Jeremy Maclin. “We like to pass the ball,” Maclin said. “So we’re gonna do it in rain, sleet, snow, dry day, regardless.” Missouri is now #5 in the AP Poll thanks to their huge win.

The #6 ranked Missouri Tigers are hosting the Nevada Wolfpack on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. The Missouri-Nevada football game, previously scheduled for telecast on a pay-per-view basis, has been moved to airing on Fox Sports Net affiliates… so now everyone will get to see it! Nevada isn’t a good football team (they got beat by Texas Tech last week 35-19), so the Tigers shouldn’t have any problem beating them.
The Wolpack gave up 158 yards to Texas Tech’s #1 WR Michael Crabtree, so I’m hoping we can see similar production from Jeremy Maclin this week. Maclin has not started off with a bang like we predicted. Through the first two games he only has 6 receptions for 51 yards. I mean he’s been a beast on special teams, but the Tigers really need to get him involved more in the passing game.
I’m predicting a Tiger win, of course. Vegas has Missouri favored by 27, but I think the final score will probably be closer to 42-20. If they can get Jeremy going, I see no reason why he can’t pass 100 yards receiving for the first time this year. Add in a touchdown and some big special teams plays and he should have an awesome showing.

I mentioned last week that Jeremy Maclin scored on a 99 yard kickoff return against Illinois. Here’s the video of it. Check out Jeremy’s speed. No one will catch him!

#6 Missouri dominated Southeast Missouri on Saturday with a final score of 52-3. Jeremy Maclin’s final stats weren’t all that impressive, but he did score on a trick play with Daniel’s 28-yard pass off a lateral pass in the 1st quarter. This touchdown reception put the Tigers up 14-0 early.
Jeremy was once again involved in all facets of the game. He finished with 1 rush for 11 yards, 2 receptions for 20 yards (1 score) and 3 punt returns for 34 yards. Because Missouri was up so big, Maclin did not play the entire game (plus he is coming off that slight injury).
Maclin fans need to be patient. His monster stats will come once Big 12 action starts. Consider these first two games like the preseason, the important thing is that Jeremy is getting some action and finding the endzone.

Last week versus Illinois, Missouri star WR tweaked his ankle. There were some doubts whether or not he would play this week in their home opener against Southeast Missouri State. “I want to play,” Maclin said. “Nobody wants to sit out. I think I’ll be ready to play at 100 percent, if not really close.”
Southeast Missouri State is a midlevel team at best. The Tigers would pound them with or without Jeremy. But it’s the home opener and there is a lot of excitement from the fans about this #6 ranked team. An MRI exam revealed a slightly strained tendon, and coach Gary Pinkel said Maclin was probable for this week.
It’s just a day before the game, and I still can’t find any official news yet on whether or not he’ll play. It may end up being a game time decision. I’ll go ahead and give my stat prediction in case he does play. I think he’ll have 80 yards receiving and 1 touchdown, plus a couple of kick/punt returns for another 100 yards.
What do you think?

Jeremy Maclin of the Missouri Tigers was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the week. Here’s what ESPN had to say about his performance.

He had 201 return yards in the game, including 145 yards on three kickoff returns and 56 yards on four punt returns. Maclin now has four combined kick/punt return TDs in two years in college, the most in school history. He finished with 234 all-purpose yards, including four receptions for 31 yards.
Congratulations Jeremy!
