Mizzou football plans bigger role for Ahmad Hardy against Texas
Summary

Ahmad Hardy returns for Missouri football as they prepare to face Texas on November 7. Hardy, an All-American running back, made his comeback in Mizzou's 34-10 victory over Arkansas, carrying the ball twice for five yards. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz indicated that Hardy will have an increased workload against Texas, which presents a significant challenge as both teams contend for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Jamal Roberts currently leads the team in rushing but a stronger presence from Hardy could be crucial against Texas' strong defense.
