Springfield News-Leader: Former Hillcrest star Dorial Green-Beckham has breakthrough at Mizzou
"I just felt like we needed to get the ball to him more," offensive coordinator Josh Henson said. "Give him more opportunities to make some plays."
Said Washington, "I felt like he was at a point where, if we gave him some opportunities, the defense gave us some opportunities from a schematic standpoint, he would have a chance to have a really good game."
For Green-Beckham, the shift wasn’t as dramatic.
He immediately turned most questions about his performance into a commentary about his team.
"I guess they saw it before I went out and played," Green-Beckham said.
"We really don’t talk about that much, we just talk about our receiver group, how we need to go out there and be the game-breakers, make plays and be the one that gets our offense going."
KC Star: Liberty’s Marcus Lucas reflects on his Missouri career
"It’s weird to think about, but I graduate (Dec. 13)," Marcus said. "It’s really coming down to the end. It sneaks up on you. It came a lot faster than I thought it would."
Marcus, a Liberty graduate and the 2008 Otis Taylor Award winner as the top high school wide receiver in metropolitan Kansas City, was always close with his mom, but sharing in the tradition of Tigers athletic further strengthened that bond.
"She’s here every weekend for games — well, here and away," Marcus said. "It definitely helps with our relationship being so far away. It’s something that brings us closer together every weekend. I can count on seeing her. If I wasn’t an athlete, I might not have the opportunity. I like it a lot."
It’s also made being a Tiger extra special.
