1. No surprises against UT-Martin on Saturday; no surprises at Media Day on Tuesday.

The Week 2 depth chart was released on Tuesday and there were no changes. The biggest news? Probably that the three players who missed substantial time during the season opener (Kevin Pendleton, Khalil Oliver and Rashad Brandon) will all be back for Wyoming, under the lights on Saturday.

The most important on-going storylines are what we didn’t see on Saturday (Not much of the playbook on offense, says the Kansas City Star) and which freshmen we did see on Saturday (Probably the most true freshmen in one game that Barry Odom can recall, says Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post Dispatch).

For all the talk about Kam Scott and Jalen Knox and Tyler Badie, Odom singled out a player we hadn’t heard much about prior to Saturday — freshman corner Jarvis Ware.

From Matter’s notebook:

“He’s going to help us in a lot of different roles because of his length and speed and confidence and football IQ and understanding of what we’re asking him to do.”

2. And what about those Cowboys from Wyoming?

Even considering the opponents it’s played, Wyoming’s rush defense has been stout — 66 TOTAL rushing yards on 37 carries. And, even though the Cowboys have forced just one turnover through two games, Barry Odom slapped the “aggressive” tag on them.

From Mitchell Forde’s media day notebook, via PowerMizzou.com:

“They’re an aggressive team, they’re assignment sound, they tackle really well,” Odom said. “They’re aggressive in their coverages, but also understand where they need to be every snap. You don’t see a lot of guys running uncovered, you don’t see missed assignments.”

Maybe Missouri will have to bring out Washington State’s “Big Gulp” formation this weekend?

Also, a reminder that the forecast for Saturday is rain — and a lot of that. Odom has his players preparing for some less-than-ideal elements.

Here’s another wrap-up of media day, this one from Daniel Jones of the Columbia Daily Tribune with a nice look at Jordan Elliott’s return to the football field.

3. EJ Liddell not the only top target on campus this weekend

At least not according to this tweet:

That’s gotta be good, right?
