Roberts’ Explosive Run Turns Game | Missouri Tigers Football News

Mizzou stunned Kansas with their first win over the rivals since 2001, fueled by Jamal Roberts’ explosive 64-yard touchdown run — which alone accounted for nearly half their rushing yards. Despite a sluggish average of just 2.8 yards per carry after removing that play, Roberts bounced back from an early fumble to carry the load with 28 rushes for 125 yards and the game-changing score. XaiShaun Edwards added another TD on 10 carries, while Austin Simmons threw for nearly 300 yards and three scores. The victory proved Mizzou can win even when the run game isn’t perfect — thanks to a strong passing attack and resilient defense.
