Two issues at play here, IMO. The first one is that we have incredible depth at WR. DGB has incredible physical talent, but so do Lucas, LDW, Waters, Hunt, and even Sasser. I'd assume that DGB is still getting up to speed on the playbook and very likely needs work in route running.

Which of course is why you have him running go routes (to exploit his size/speed combination.) However, go routes require one thing that Mizzou currently doesn't have much of: time. Mizzou's line is beat up enough that they are having trouble blocking four for a small amount of time. Given that teams have read the book on Mizzou and are sending at least five, the go routes are difficult to execute. Berk took some shots downfield, but he he to lay it out there very early and hope that it timed out correctly. You also run a significant risk of an interception if the timing/placement isn't great, if a safety is playing center field.

Fix the line and you'll fix the deeper routes, IMO.
