LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Austin Simmons threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns as No. 23 Missouri beat Kansas 38-21 in the latest edition of the Border War on Friday night. Robert Woodyard Jr. helped the Tigers take control with back-to-back second-half turnovers. Jamal Roberts ran for 120 yards and a touchdown, while Donovan Olugbode and Cayden Lee caught TD passes. The game was tied 14-all early in the second half when Woodyard recovered a fumble, leading to a go-ahead touchdown. Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall finished with 168 yards passing, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, including one by Woodyard that set up another TD for the Tigers. It was the fifth straight win for Missouri over its biggest rival. The Jayhawks haven't beaten Missouri since 2008.
UNDATED (AP) — Southeastern Conference leaders have met by video conference without holding a vote on LSU’s membership. The SEC had threatened as part of a federal lawsuit against LSU to take such a vote, but decided against it after LSU finalized its football roster without including a pair of NFL signees who had been recruited back to college by first-year Tigers coach Lane Kiffin. The SEC said in a statement Thursday that its presidents and chancellors discussed “recent matters involving conference expectations and responsibilities.” The SEC says those talks will continue.
