Mizzou fans absolutely adore junior wide receiver T.J. Moe for multiple reasons.  Moe is tough.  He is gritty.  He is from O'fallon, Missouri.

Last season Moe had a break-out sophomore season, hauling in 92 receptions for 1,045 yards and six touchdowns.

Moe, the former Fort Zumwalt West high school quarterback standout, was one of Blaine Gabbert's favorite targets last season.  Even though Gabbert is gone and sophomore James Franklin will be taking the snaps this season for the Tigers, the pundits and analysts think Moe will have another huge season the Tigers.

So huge that they named Moe one of 75 wide receivers on the Biletnikoff Watch List.

The Biletnikoff Award goes to college football's top wide receiver each season.

In Mizzou's pass-first spread offense, Moe figures to get plenty of chances on a weekly basis to pile up the stats and make a run at being one of the nation's best wide receivers in 2011.

Moe is just six feet tall and weighs just 200 pounds, but is somehow able to seemingly get open at will in the Tigers offense.

Highlight games for Moe last season included 13 receptions and a touchdown in Mizzou's season opening win against Illinois at the Edward Jones dome.  In conference play Moe had a five reception, two touchdown effort in a 38-28 victory over Kansas State in Columbia.
