Kansas vs. Missouri Preview

These are two talented squads still looking to prove they belong with their new-look roster.

Missouri lost key weapons from last season such as Brady Cook and Luther Burden III, but head coach Eli Drinkwitz refurbished his team with the additions of quarterback Beau Pribula and running back Ahmad Hardy.

The Tigers looked sharp on both ends of the field in their last outing, and they'll now get the chance to do it again vs. a stronger opponent.

Meanwhile, Kansas opened the season with an encouraging win over Fresno State and followed it with a 39-point rout of Wagner. Sixth-year quarterback Jalon Daniels has looked better than ever, and he gets to throw to transfer playmakers like former Alabama wideout Emmanuel Henderson Jr. and Ball State’s Cam Pickett.

Still, many fans know that turnovers have plagued Daniels in the past, and he’ll need to be nearly flawless against a rigid Missouri defensive front.

On paper, the Tigers have the deeper roster, and the Jayhawks are dealing with several injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Therefore, KU will need its best performance to leave Columbia with a win.
