LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Austin Simmons threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns, Robert Woodyard Jr. produced back-to-back second-half turnovers to help Missouri take control, and the No. 23 Tigers beat Kansas 38-21 on Friday night in the latest edition of the Border War.
Jamal Roberts ran for 125 yards and a touchdown, and Donovan Olugbode and Cayden Lee caught TD passes, helping the Tigers (2-0) beat their biggest rival for the fifth straight time in their first trip across the state line since Oct. 29, 2005.
It was tied 14-all early in the second half when Woodyard fell on Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall's fumble, and Simmons quickly found Olugbode for the go-ahead touchdown. On the Jayhawks' next offensive play, Woodyard faded into the secondary and was there to pick off Marshall's pass, setting up Xai'Shaun Edwards' touchdown run.
Marshall finished with 168 yards passing, two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Jayhawks (1-1), who haven't beaten Missouri since Nov. 29, 2008. The sophomore quarterback also carried 20 times for just 23 yards.
Kansas jumped on the Tigers early, just as it did last season in Columbia, when a series that went on hiatus after the Tigers' departure for the SEC finally resumed after more than a decade. This time around, the Jayhawks capitalized on Missouri miscues: four false start penalties in the first half alone, blown blocking ****** ignments and two blocked field-goal attempts.

Mizzou's 2026 fall camp has wrapped up. The team finished camp with a scrimmage under the lights at Faurot. Afterwards, head coach Eli Drinkwitz, wide receiver Donovan Olugbode and cornerback Chris Graves Jr. addressed the media.
The players brought different perspectives to the table, Olugbode being a young returner and Graves being a veteran transfer. Regardless of where both of them are in their playing careers, they improved through the fall.
Olugbode pointed to diversifying his skill set as a receiver as an emphasis coming into camp and feels like he achieved this goal.
"My contested catching, my run after the catch ability, getting more explosive after the catch," Olugbode listed as areas of improvement.
Graves' experience showed in his response. He was primarily focused on enhancing areas that he was already great in and gaining a better connection with the secondary.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Missouri fans and fans across the country.
Mizzou Football will be looking to improve the passing game in a big way this upcoming season. Ole Miss transfer quarterback Austin Simmons will look to lead the way for what is hopefully a new and improved Missouri offense this year under coordinator Chip Lindsey.
Simmons will have plenty of weapons at the wide receiver position to work with as Mizzou brought in some key transfers. That includes his former Rebel teammate Cayden Lee — who is coming off of a productive juni0r season with Ole Miss — contributing for 44 receptions, 635 yards, and three touchdowns. Can Simmons and Lee establish their chemistry this season?
Cincinnati transfer Caleb Goodie is another name to watch — who had 29 receptions, 484 yards, and two touchdowns last season with the Bearcats. Goodie's biggest strength is his speed. Will he be able to use YAC (yards after catch) to his advantage?
Donovan Olugbode headlines Mizzou's returning wide receiver core after a productive freshman campaign — contributing for 30 receptions, 401 yards, and two touchdowns. Is a "Luther Burden type" sophomore season in store for him?
