Missouri defeats Kansas 38-21 in Border War rivalry game

Missouri secured a 38-21 victory over Kansas in a Border War matchup held Friday night at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz publicly criticized a Kansas social media video that incorporated Civil War imagery, calling the decision to reference the conflict on 9/11 inappropriate. The game included a physical altercation on the field between players, prompting Drinkwitz to exit an on-camera interview early to address the situation. On the field, Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns without committing a turnover. The result marks the fifth consecutive win for Missouri in the rivalry series. Following the game, Missouri prepares to host Troy on September 19, while Kansas is scheduled to travel to London for a matchup against Arizona State.
