Overview
- Sam Horn suffered a right leg/knee injury on his first play, was ruled out of the opener, and later appeared on the sideline on crutches with a brace.
- ESPN reports Horn underwent an MRI on Friday and is out indefinitely as the program awaits results of additional testing to determine a timeline.
- Transfer Beau Pribula completed 23 of 28 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 65 yards and two more scores in a 61-7 win that featured 560 yards of offense.
- Coach Eli Drinkwitz had planned to play both quarterbacks to decide the starter but said the injury altered that evaluation and voiced empathy for Horn.
- Missouri hosts Kansas on Sept. 6 as the staff adjusts its depth chart, a notable concern given Horn's two-sport profile and recent MLB draft selection by the Dodgers.
