The read
Missouri returns from its bye ranked No. 23 with a 4-2 record. The Tigers are 3-0 at home and 1-2 away. Their recent results show the difference: home wins of 45-17 against Florida and 27-6 against Texas A&M preceded a 3-31 loss at Ole Miss.
Eli Drinkwitz used the break to address accountability and problems near the goal line. He identified predictable offensive calls and defensive failures to finish possessions. Chip Lindsey coordinates the offense, while Garrett Riley coaches Austin Simmons and the other quarterbacks. Simmons remains the projected starter, with Matt Zollers behind him.
The backfield is changing. Ahmad Hardy has resumed practice after recovering from a gunshot injury to his left thigh. He is expected to make his season debut with limited carries rather than start. Jamal Roberts remains first on the depth chart. Malae Fonoti is out for the season, Josh Atkins is not expected back this season, and Gavin Hoffman remains unavailable with a foot fracture.
The defense held Florida to 42 rushing yards and Texas A&M to 27, but Ole Miss rushed for 257. Nicholas Rodriguez made 13 tackles in the latest loss. Langden Kitchen and Darris Smith are listed first at their pass-rush positions, with Daeden Hopkins behind Kitchen. Missouri now heads to Arkansas for another road game.
