Kansas defensive coordinator D.K. McDonald emphasized the need to pressure Simmons, who recorded four touchdowns in his debut. The Jayhawks also noted the strength of the Missouri offensive line despite the likely absence of tailback Ahmad Hardy. This contest marks the first time Missouri has played in Lawrence in 21 years.
