- DL/DB: I understand your position, but wrt to the Dallas game, that handball wasn’t a judgement call and the game would have been over.

- Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz said Ahmad Hardy still had not returned to practice or advanced beyond rehabilitation and confirmed Malae Fonoti would miss the rest of the season with a non-contact ACL injury, calling running-back depth the team's biggest depth-chart concern without establishing a Hardy return date. - Missouri lineman Cayden Green completed about three-quarters of the prior practice with an initially favorable response but still needed reassessment, while Jack Lange remained available after a first start that mixed good length and power with communication problems against edge pressure. - Missouri's early rushing problems included inadequate frontside stretch and backside collapse on wide zone plus missed movement calls on inside zone, with Drinkwitz describing a productive adjustment to the odd front but still demanding better quarterback protection and rushing execution against Kansas. - Missouri's defense must maintain disciplined pass-rush lanes against Marshall's throwing and scrambling ability, with Drinkwitz stressing sideline communication and in-game adjustments because the new Kansas coordinator-quarterback pairing supplies limited film.

- Missouri's quarterback immediately found rhythm in the opener and looked accurate and confident in Leipold's film assessment, making early passing execution a specific positive rather than merely general praise for the team. - Missouri had not yet played Ahmad Hardy at the time of Leipold's comments, but the Kansas coach still regarded its backfield as talented; this interview did not provide the reason for Hardy's absence or establish his availability for Friday. - Missouri's defensive personnel stood out to Leipold for length, athleticism, physicality and the ability to create disruption from multiple spots. - Missouri showed secondary depth across the rotation and continued making plays through personnel changes in the opener, according to Leipold's scouting assessment.

- DL/LB: Might explain why he was listed on this weeks Brasky depth chart.

- Pick/market: Simmons good!

- 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.

- DB: Some of us just don't like Quantrell being the poster child for Mizzou athletics.

- Offense: When the first team offense was in they converted every third down and scored a TD on every possession.

- QB: Watched the highlights and Long Island had 3 man defensive front of 240lb linemen.

- Pick/market: If there was any suspense, Missouri got rid of it early.

- LB: MU’s offense will grab most of the headlines from Thursday’s win.

- Offense: The first half offense and defense performed admirably, while depth in the second half was shaky.
