- 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.

- Pick/market: He was actually pretty good in the President's Cup non-singles matches at 20-13-1.

- QB/LB: against a mobile QB that is massive in size it sure would be nice to be able to rotate our best players.

- RB: OP is convinced Drink is meddling whenever the offense struggles.

- QB: How demoralizing that before September is over the narrative is around how to keep your QB for next year.

- 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.

- Injury: there was a period there when GP would run really physical preseason camps.

- RB: Because you are so fond of Claude's return to play estimate, I asked Claude a much more pertinent question: "Has there ever been a documented case of an NFL running back or college Division...

- Pick/market: Drink has got to love all of the attention that Miss St.

- QB/LB: Line Daedon up against Miles McVay every snap and let him eat.

- TE/LB: I still think it’s interesting that Harris has more snaps than Norfleet this year.

- TE/LB: My point is other fan bases and prognosticators are taking MSU in this game bc they are playing Mizzou.

- Pick/market: Amazing what solid QB play does for a program...I understand they have made leaps on both sides of the ball, but great QB play get people excited quickly.

- 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.

- Injury: just like that, we got another illegal procedure penalty.

- Offense: His model has Mizzou above State.

- QB: The opposing quarterback list is daunting for the Mizzou defense.

- Injury: Man I didn't fully appreciate how weak we were at WR last year.

- QB/WR: With Lock’s arm strength this COULD be like Hill/Mahomes or Cunningham/Moss back in the day.

- QB: Not sure why people need to have this revisionist history with guys.

- QB: To be fair, one had Chase Daniel at QB, the other didn’t People’s memories are incredibly short and they’re easily distracted by the shiny new thing...

- Injury: Some perspective: Beau Pribula's worst game of the season per PFF last season was against Bama and he scored 50.5.

- Pick/market: Narrative wise it couldn’t be going better for Mizzou.

- Injury: #Mizzou RB Jamal Roberts hobbled into the injury tent during the TV timeout.

- RB/TE: The play was blocked correctly, he just needed to cut inside the TE blocking and he would have had green grass.

- Pick/market: roberts averaged 4.5 ypc against ku, and that includes a 64 yard td.

- Pick/market: a couple times I thought we'd brought the wrong QB back from Lawrence last week.

- QB: I'll be shocked if Mizzou keeps this within a score from what I've seen this year.

- QB: People’s memories are incredibly short and they’re easily distracted by the shiny new thing.

- 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.
