Mizzou prepares for road game against Kansas in 122nd Border War

Mizzou travels to Lawrence for the 122nd edition of the Border War on Friday at 7 p.m. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has shifted team focus from the rivalry's history toward tactical execution and adjustments in what marks the program’s first road contest of the season. The coaching staff is emphasizing improvements in run defense and offensive line protection following the team's opening victory. The Tigers must also navigate a potential challenge from Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall, whom Drinkwitz identified as a dual-threat playmaker. Offensive lineman Cayden Green is progressing toward a return after practicing in a limited capacity earlier this week. The team is currently adjusting its running back rotation following a season-ending injury to Malae Fonoti.
