⚡ CFB Dashboard

- QB/LB: If Missouri shows up and plays a C+ game or better they should win.

- QB/WR: If MIZ gets consistent pressure on the qb they’ll win comfy.

- QB: Drew can flat out throw the football…he made a few throws that Darnold and many others could not have made.

- QB/RB: Hell they dropped him behind a running back that Drink asked to move on.

- RB: Jesus, leave it to pm to complain about someone not appropriately giving the appropriate level of a pain someone is being

- QB: Their OC is legit, I hope we figure out how to tackle a QB for a sack.

- QB: This is every fan base and humanity...not sure how you can say otherwise.

- Offense: The Tigers’ rushing attack looked unusually sluggish in week one.

- QB: No offense but you are under no obligation to comment or participate.

- Offense: many free runners today.

- 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.

- RB: Have to hope Hardy can come back in a couple weeks, even if he’s not fully himself.

- QB: If everyone liked what you posted they wouldn’t respond as much with hate….

- Pick/market: We only won by 11 at home last year.

- Pick/market: Simmons good!

- RB: He is definitely a bigger threat running than Finoti…but you can’t just be one dimensional and be on the field a great deal.

- QB/LB: Negative Nancy or Debbie Downer…but I think we are in trouble Friday.

- 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.

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

- OL: It's tough to decipher which people on this site are actually connected and which ones are just talking in absolutes because that's what people on the internet do...

- Injury: When they tell us he’s out for the season, which won’t happen.

- Injury: We ran a qb draw with Sam horn on his first game back from injury.

- Injury: Jamal on Malae Fonoti's injury: "We keep him in our prayers.

- QB/LB: I know posters are pushing narratives in here, but I will admit to chuckling when the play by play guy said "we've seen this before" in the middle of the game when Kirby called...

- QB: I appreciated that Simmons first instinct wasn't to instantly run around the pocket.

- RB: If you look at snap counts, I think the first half pt was mostly 1's and 2's and the second half was many 3's and 4's.

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

- QB: If we played a good team thats a ball that is either knocked down or intercepted.

- Pick/market: If we have to use our backup we're in trouble anyway.

- Pick/market: You could not be more accurate…AND they are young and probably had anyone worth a crap on last year’s roster poached.

- Pick/market: Mizzou’s starting quarterback showed his potential in the Tigers’ season-opening 54-14 win against UAPB.

- QB/RB: I remember Cody talking about making easy throws....push button types, a lot last year.

- QB: I found is 7th snap with 8:00 to go in the 2nd quarter, run away from him 8th and final snap right after, pass, QB scrambles, almost makes the tackle

- QB: Let's see how this Moore offense looks outside of Missouri.

- OL: The two new tackles were always the biggest question mark for them

- QB: It’s not really a “hate” thing as some folks seem to think, and to be fair we haven’t seen a ton of him.

- QB: Well then Sidwar or someone else transfers in to be the QB.

- Injury: He's behind two of the best backs in the country, they are right up there with us in best 1-2 punches at RB

- Missouri's offense roughly doubled its RPO rate under new coordinator Chip Lindsey, running 17 RPOs on 78 snaps after ranking bottom three in the SEC in RPO percentage in 2025. - The RPO emphasis appears designed to help new quarterback Austin Simmons by giving him familiar reads from prior heavy-RPO offenses and quicker decisions against apex defenders. - Missouri surprisingly did not lean heavily into 12 personnel against Arkansas-Pine Bluff despite offseason expectations and UAPB's deep Cover 2 and Cover 4 looks. - Missouri used multiple sniffer-set snaps after charting only eight all of last season, usually to create outside-zone runs with a moving lead blocker near enemy territory or the red zone.

- QB/OL: Bad offensive line and bad quarterback.

- TE/LB: It seemed like they used more formations with the TE's off the LOS.

- QB: Underwood might become the first college QB to make enough money in college to retire at 23yo and never play in the NFL.

- QB/LB: The more concerning issues are that Drinkwitzs teams never play all that well on the road and are always coming from behind if they do win.

- 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.
