The Kansas football game against the Missouri Tigers didn't go as hoped. The Jayhawks struggled on both offense and defense after the first quarter and lost 41-31. The TV rankings were another story.
In 2012, Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC and the two rivals hadn't played since. The schools first played in 1891 and they've been evenly matched throughout the decades. KU is 55-57-9 (though Missouri claims one of the wins as its own).
