Just how healthy are the Tigers
- Missouri edge Darris Smith is questionable on Wednesday's initial report for the 2026 Mississippi State game after starting all three games. He has five tackles, including two for loss, and one quarterback hurry. The designation leaves his availability unresolved rather than confirming an absence or clearance.
- Missouri offensive lineman Josh Atkins remains out against Mississippi State and has not appeared in a 2026 game. The report says he suffered a knee and leg injury late in spring and reportedly had a setback after a midseason return had been expected; it does not establish a revised return date or replacement starter.
- Missouri tight end Gavin Hoffman is listed as out against Mississippi State after returning for the Troy game. The report says he has battled a hamstring issue for several weeks, played in the opener and missed Kansas. His return last week therefore did not establish continuing availability for this matchup.

X Factor this week
- Game breakdown: Them having Marquis Johnson really doesn’t have anything to do with us having multiple players who either played at Miss St or in big loud rivalry games vs MissSt before.

Behind Enemy Lines: Cody Goodwin of PowerMizzou
- Missouri QB Austin Simmons completed 75% of his passes for 544 yards and seven TDs in his first two 2026 games, then went 10-of-19 for 91 yards and one TD against Troy. PowerMizzou's Cody Goodwin said protection held up against Troy despite the downturn; those are observed results, not a starter challenge or declared future trend.
- Missouri RB Jamal Roberts had 300 rushing yards and back-to-back 100-yard games through the first three 2026 games, per Goodwin. He said the staff was developing depth behind Roberts, including Xai'Shaun Edwards, after heavy recent workloads. This does not announce a new touch split or Ahmad Hardy's medical status.

Missouri Waltz?
- OL: I love tradition, but the Waltz was a mood killer , too slow.

- TE: I’m no genius but I feel like yet another TE going down completely changed Troy’s gameplan on offense and the Missouri defense has taken advantage of it.

- Defense: If you got a nickel for every time #Mizzou forced back-to-back turnovers on consecutive defensive snaps this season, you'd have two nickels, which is pretty good for this early in the season.
