After missing last week and seeing the field sparingly against Murray State, sophomore tight end Brett Norfleet will return to action against Boston College, according to Pete Thamel.

Norfleet only recorded one reception for four yards in the opening matchup with the Racers on very limited snaps. Prior to week one, he had experienced some hip pain that left him questionable. He practiced in a green jersey, signifying no-contact, leading up to week one.

The O’Fallon, Mo product broke out last year for the Tigers, posting 197 yards and three touchdowns, while also becoming one of quarterback Brady Cook’s most trusted targets.

In the absence of Norfleet, Tyler Stephens and Jordon Harris have stepped into his role. Stephens has picked up three receptions for 22 yards early in the season and Harris earned his first career reception as a Tiger last week, good for nine yards.

The Tiger offense hasn’t faltered without Norfleet, scoring 51 points in week one and 38 the one after. Not much of those points have been a result of a pass, with only one passing touchdown being thrown and nine on the ground.

Norfleet will prove a valuable weapon for Cook heading into Saturday’s matchup with the Eagles. Boston College, led defensively by safety Carter Davis and defensive ends Neto Okpala and Donovan Ezeiruaku, have allowed only 347 passing yards through two games. Majority of those came in week once, facing Florida State’s D.J. Uiagalelei.

Missouri kicks off from Faurot Field against Boston College at 11:45 a.m. on the SEC Network.

Boston College Quarterback Thomas Castellanos the Primary Focus for Missouri Defense

I loved watching Our Gang and The Little Rascals while I was growing up, if I see a dog that looks like Petey, I fall into a nostalgic haze. Thinking back on the show as an adult, there were two things that scared the kids, but made me curious – castor oil and limburger cheese. After a three-year quest to find Limburger cheese in Connecticut, I’ve finally succeeded.

The Little Rascals/Our Gang has entertained kids of all ages for almost a hundred years, and it’s inspired the feeling of doom and gloom every time I’ve heard Limburger cheese or Castor Oil mentioned. I’ve tried Castor Oil, it’s not anywhere as bad as I had imagined.

When I started working with Ethan and Lou three years ago, somehow my wanting to try the stinky cheese came up in the course of conversation, and my quest began. The Limburger leads started coming in – DeCicco’s has it, they might have it, Stew Leonard’s had it, but I couldn’t get there. I looked in supermarkets all over Connecticut – multiple Big Y’s, Stop & Shop’s, Bantam Market and Northville Market, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, Balducci’s, Key Foods, even Aldi. Nothing. I asked inside Oakville’s New Curds on the Block, at the Caseus Crispy Melty truck too.

Finally, this past weekend, I shopped at Torrington’s Market 32, and there it was. I bought a 6oz. block of Country Castle Limburger Cheese from Monroe, Wisconsin, and I’m about to take the first whiff of Limburger in my lifetime, be right back.

Yowza. It’s true. My God. It smells like a teenager’s room that’s been filled full of dirty socks, with a hint of an Italian combo grinder that’s been left in the sun for 3 hours. Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Darla, and Stymie, you were right.
