- Isaiah Marshall won Kansas's starting quarterback job and is viewed by Lance Leipold as enabling the offense's most complete form, but Cole Ballard is still expected to play without a fixed series rotation or quick hook. - Dylan Edwards and Yasin Willis will form a high-usage one-two backfield with complementary versatile and power styles, while extended absences for Kory Amachree and Justin Thurman's season-ending injury leave little margin for another injury. - Cam Pickett did not practice Monday and is uncertain for the opener, with Kansas considering more tight-end or running-back personnel and increased snaps for Keaton Kubecka or Nahzae Cox if he cannot play. - Alex Bray and camp standout David Santiago are both expected to play at STUD end, while starting tackle Eamon Smalls has managed a knee injury throughout the preseason and remains especially important for the Missouri matchup. - Kansas settled on Calvin Clements, Amir Herring, Kasen Carpenter, Tavake Tuikolovatu and Nick Morrow as its starting offensive line, but Morrow entered mock-game week banged up and the staff may rotate from a trusted top eight.
