Missouri Rallies to Beat Kansas 42-31 in First Edition of the Border War in More than a Decade
The Border War rivalry returns after 14 years, with both undefeated teams facing off in Missouri to answer early-season questions and boost their championship chances.
- On Saturday in Columbia, the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers meet for the first time since 2011, resuming a series that had 120 contests through 2011.
- After Missouri's 2011 move to the Southeastern Conference, the series paused but a March 2020 agreement between Kansas and Missouri scheduled four games starting in 2025 to renew it.
- Both teams enter the matchup undefeated, with Kansas 2-0 after outscoring opponents 77-14; quarterback Jalon Daniels, Kansas, has completed more than 70 percent of passes with seven touchdowns, while Missouri opened with a 61-6 win and ran for 219 yards last week.
- A Kansas win would boost Kansas's CFP hopes and mark a defining victory for Lance Leipold, with bragging rights heightened by a sold-out crowd at Faurot Field.
- Rooted in 19th-century Civil War–era clashes between Jayhawkers and Bushwhackers, the Border War rivalry began with a first meeting in 1891 and includes 120 contests through 2011, with Missouri leading 57-54-9.
