Mizzou opponent scouting report: Florida has flash and flaws in Jon Sumrall's first year
It鈥檚 hard to gauge the quality of the Florida team that will visit Missouri this season on Oct. 3.
On the one hand, that Week 5 game could be a battle of 1,000-yard rushers, with UF鈥檚 Jadan Baugh racing against either Ahmad Hardy or Jamal Roberts (or both). The Gators could have a talented receiving corps, strong secondary and elite special teams unit.

Does Mississippi State finally have the talent to compete? Mizzou opponent scouting report
There could be an air of desperation already clattering among the cowbells of Starkville when Missouri pays a visit to Mississippi State this season.
The Bulldogs, with one Southeastern Conference win in the past two seasons, have become the league鈥檚 get-right team. Remember last year when Mizzou, sans its starting quarterback, won 49-27 because its tailback rather easily ran for 300 yards?

Mizzou opponent scouting report: Kansas will have new starting QB in 2026
Here鈥檚 a trivia question that comes with a satisfying answer for a Missouri fan: Of the 12 games on the Tigers鈥 2026 football schedule, which is likely to have the smallest crowd?
The answer, by what should be a fairly significant margin: Mizzou鈥檚 Week 2 trek west to Kansas.
Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels steps out of bounds as Missouri cornerback Toriano Pride Jr. (2) prepares to make a tackle during second-half action on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo. Daniels is out of eligibility, so the Jayhawks will have a new quarterback when they meet the Tigers again in 2026.

With 19 commits, Mizzou football hits 2027 recruiting target early 鈥 with more to come
COLUMBIA, Mo. 鈥 Missouri football heads into the holiday weekend with its summer slate of official visits likely wrapped up and its 2027 recruiting class potentially close to full.
The Tigers have 19 verbal commitments in the ongoing 2027 recruiting cycle, which is nearly double the 10 they had heading into Southeastern Conference media days last July. Seventh-year coach Eli Drinkwitz鈥檚 decision to focus on local three- and four-star prospects is evidently leading to a more efficient process for Mizzou.
