Mizzou faces Kansas in Border Battle rivalry game on Friday
Summary

Mizzou travels to Lawrence, Kansas, on Friday to face the Kansas Jayhawks in the 121st installment of the Border War rivalry. This matchup marks the first time the Tigers have played at Kansas since October 2005. Mizzou enters the game following a season-opening win, though the coaching staff aims to improve defensive tackling and pass rush efficiency. Left tackle Cayden Green is expected to return to the lineup for Mizzou after missing the opener. On the other side, Kansas linebacker Daveon “Bam” Crouch is listed as doubtful after sustaining a shoulder injury last week. The Tigers defense prepares to face Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall, a dual-threat player who recorded 49 rushing yards in his team's previous game.
