Leipold’s Rivalry Struggles Mount | Missouri Tigers Football News

Lance Leipold’s Kansas Jayhawks took another hard hit in the rivalry trenches, falling 38-21 to Missouri — a loss that exposed defensive lapses and costly turnovers. It’s not just this year’s setback; the Jayhawks lost to the Tigers last season too, and this time it was even worse. With no rematch until 2031, the sting lingers. Meanwhile, the Sunflower Showdown continues its drought — Kansas hasn’t beaten K-State in 17 straight games, with Leipold personally losing five of those matchups. Despite his overall success since 2021, these high-stakes losses are mounting pressure, especially as this defeat marks Kansas’ first major stumble of the season. With the clock ticking toward 2027, Leipold’s future in Lawrence may hinge on turning close calls into wins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
