Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT at Faurot Field in Columbia in the rivals’ first football meeting since 2011 and first on-campus game since 2006.
  • BetMGM lists Missouri as roughly a 6.5-point favorite, and local reporting notes an 11-game Tigers home winning streak.
  • Pribula debuted with 23-of-28 passing for 283 yards plus 65 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns in a 61–6 win over Central Arkansas.
  • Daniels has opened strong for Kansas with efficient passing and multiple touchdowns, making the quarterback duel a central storyline.
  • Missouri absorbed significant injuries with Horn sidelined and kicker Blake Craig out for the season, and protection remains a concern after offensive-line shuffles that moved Cayden Green to left tackle; Kansas enters off wins over Fresno State and Wagner, expects RB Leshon Williams back, and could be without LB Bangally Kamara with punter Finn Lappin uncertain.
