Missouri treated its second scrimmage as a four-quarter preseason game focused on execution: the offense opened with two touchdown drives, while the first-team defense answered with an interception on its second series.

Kicker Blake Craig rebounded from an inconsistent first scrimmage by making four of five field goals, all from beyond 35 yards; his only miss came from 53.

Darris Smith and Daeden Hopkins established themselves as Missouri's top edge pass rushers, while DT Donta Simpson was fully cleared after a return-to-play protocol and took every scheduled rep as an interior pass-rush option.

Chris Graves, Jahlil Florence and STAR Kensley Louidor-Faustin recorded interceptions; Sione Laulea and Florence remained in the competition to start opposite Graves at cornerback.

QB Austin Simmons hit Caleb Goodie for a 35-to-40-yard touchdown and Donovan Olugbode for a back-shoulder score, while TE Brett Norfleet added a roughly 45-yard seam catch; later turnovers and false starts remained cleanup points.
