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.
