RB Temple to miss Texas Tech game

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- For the second straight game, an ankle injury will keep senior running back Tony Temple on the sidelines.

Temple, Missouri's leading rusher, sprained his ankle in the second quarter of Missouri's 41-6 win over Nebraska on Oct. 6. He did not travel with the team to Oklahoma last week, and will not play Saturday when the 15th-ranked Tigers (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) host No. 22 Texas Tech (6-1, 2-1), Missouri officials confirmed Thursday.

Jimmy Jackson got his first career start and rushed six times for 22 yards against the Sooners last week. His 4-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter gave Missouri a 24-23 lead.

This week, Jackson was listed as second on the depth chart, behind Temple, with junior Earl Goldsmith and senior Marcus Woods behind him. True freshman Derrick Washington was fifth on the list.
