Austin Simmons records strong performance for Missouri against Kansas

Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons led his team through two games of the 2026 season, including a performance against Kansas on September 11 at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Through two games, Simmons has completed 36 of 48 passes for 544 yards and seven touchdowns. The quarterback demonstrated improved decision-making compared to his previous season, recording significantly fewer questionable throws. While Missouri continues to manage personnel absences in the backfield, the team relies on the development of its signal-caller to drive offensive production. The Tigers look to maintain this momentum as they prepare for upcoming matchups against more challenging defensive opponents.
