LAWRENCE — Kansas football has the opportunity to defeat a top 25 opponent on Friday, when No. 23 Missouri comes to Lawrence for a rivalry matchup.
Both KU (1-0) and Missouri (1-0) won their season openers at home. Now, the Jayhawks will have a chance to see just how much of a home field advantage they can have, as the Tigers test themselves on the road. Kansas recently announced that the game would be a sellout.

Here's what KU's coaches think about Missouri's team:
KU head coach Lance Leipold acknowledged that the fact the two teams aren't in the same conference anymore means the rivalry isn't what it used to be, but highlighted as well that last year's game reignited the spark and intensity that comes with it. He hopes the game can continue to be played in the future. It had been more than a decade since the two sides played, prior to the game in 2025.
