Everything Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz said on Tuesday
- Eli Drinkwitz said Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy remains out of practice in rehabilitation and Malae Fonoti will miss the rest of the season after a non-contact ACL injury, leaving running-back depth his biggest roster concern.
- Drinkwitz said offensive tackle Cayden Green completed roughly three quarters of Monday's practice but still needed his response assessed, with Jack Lange ready if needed after showing first-start communication issues.
- Drinkwitz said Missouri must protect its quarterback better and attributed early zone-running problems against Pine Bluff to poor handling of defensive movement and insufficient frontside blocking before sideline adjustments helped.
- Drinkwitz described Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall as an accurate downfield passer and dangerous runner, requiring Missouri to maintain pass-rush lanes while also defending his throws rather than simply concede the passing game.
