Woodyard’s Game-Changing Night | Missouri Tigers Football News

Mizzou stunned Kansas with a 38-21 win, powered by linebacker Robert Woodyard Jr.’s game-changing dual play—fumble recovery and interception in the third quarter—that flipped momentum and set up two touchdowns. Woodyard, a transfer from Auburn, has been a disruptive force all season, forcing incompletions and making key stops. His impact was immediate and measurable, boosting Mizzou’s win probability dramatically. The victory marks their first in Lawrence since 2001 and fifth straight in the series. With Nicholas Rodriguez also stepping up with top tackle numbers, Woodyard and Rodriguez are building a solid defensive core. This win proves Mizzou can handle tough opponents, especially mobile QBs like Isaiah Marshall—and Woodyard’s standout performance earned him a game ball as a rising star for the Tigers.
