Ahmad Hardy ran for 149 yards and a touchdown while Jamal Roberts ran for another 100 yards and a score to lead Missouri to a 31-17 win over Arkansas on Saturday. Hardy, who entered the game third in FBS in yards rushing, gave the Tigers (8-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) the lead, 20-17, on a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Missouri added a field goal and a 67-yard punt-return touchdown from Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fourth quarter to go ahead by two scores. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz, an Arkansas native, had previously been bandied as a potential candidate for the Razorbacks' open head-coaching job. He signed an extension to stay at Missouri earlier in the week and beat Arkansas in a rivalry game for the fourth straight season. Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula threw for just 25 yards on 4-of-7 passing, but gained 78 yards on 16 carries, picking up Missouri's second-quarter touchdown that tied the game at 14. Arkansas (2-10, 0-8) had taken the lead on the previous possession after the ball slipped from Pribula's hands as he cocked his arm to pass.

Linebacker Bradley Shaw grabbed the fumble and returned it 32 yards to give Arkansas a 14-7 lead. The Razorbacks managed just two drives that went for more than 26 yards. They finished with 246 yards of total offense, despite entering the game averaging 474 per game, good for 10th in FBS. Interim head coach Bobby Petrino started redshirt freshman KJ Jackson at quarterback and let him run the first two drives of each half before replacing Jackson with usual starter Taylen Green in each half. Jackson went 11-of-17 passing for 126 yards with a first-quarter touchdown pass to O'Mega Blake. Green completed 6 of 13 passes for 59 yards. Missouri's 322 yards rushing marked the second-highest total for the Tigers this season and the most in an SEC game. Petrino served as the Razorbacks' head coach from 2008-2011. He declined to comment on his job status after the game. - Missouri/AP College Football

Missouri and Eli Drinkwitz have agreed to a six-year contract that will push the football coach's average compensation to $10.75 million annually and likely end any speculation that he could leave for one of the high-profile job openings elsewhere. The new contract was announced Thursday, one day after the University of Missouri Board of Curators held a meeting in which they voted unanimously to approve the deal. It would keep Drinkwitz leading the Tigers through the 2031 season. "My family and I believe deeply in the vision and leadership from our administration and are incredibly happy to continue calling Columbia our home," Drinkwitz said. "I'm grateful for the unwavering support of President Mun Choi, the Board of Curators, led by chair Todd Graves and incoming vice chair Bob Blitz, along with our athletics director, Laird Veatch. "We're also incredibly thankful for the support of our generous donors and NIL partners," Drinkwitz added in a statement released by the school. "I'm committed to continuing our work to build Mizzou into a championship program." Drinkwitz was hired by Missouri in December 2019 after a single season at Appalachian State, where he went 12-1 and finished the year ranked in the top 20.

The Tigers had fallen on hard times, but Drinkwitz steadily built them into a contender in the Southeastern Conference, reaching a bowl game in each of his first five seasons with a record of 45–28 heading into Saturday's game against Arkansas. That success, which included an 11-2 record and Cotton Bowl victory two years ago, made Drinkwitz a hot commodity on the coaching carousel. Missouri has acted aggressively to keep him, and the deal given to him this week is the second in the last four months. Missouri officials were no doubt worried about losing Drinkwitz amid a hot coaching market. SEC rivals LSU, Florida, Arkansas and Auburn have openings, while power programs such as Penn State, UCLA and Stanford also are looking for new coaches. "Under his vision and leadership, Coach Drinkwitz has transformed the standard for Mizzou football and united our entire program and fan base behind a clear pursuit of excellence," Veatch said. "We're thrilled he will continue leading our team into the future." - AP College Football

Ahmad Hardy had a career-best 300 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 25 carries, and Toriano Pride Jr. had a 62-yard fumble return and pick-6 to help Missouri beat Mississippi State 49-27 on Saturday night. Missouri (7-3, 3-3 SEC) freshman Matt Zollers, making his second career start, was 8-of-15 passing for 112 yards and two touchdowns and threw an interception in his first career win. Blake Shapen completed 19 of 33 passes for 199 yards, threw a pair of interceptions and added a pair of rushing touchdowns for Mississippi State (5-6, 1-6), which needs a win over Mississippi on Nov. 29 to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2022. Hardy raced into the end zone from 43 yards out with 11:11 remaining in the fourth quarter to shatter his previous career-high of 250 rushing yards and give him his third career three touchdown game.

Pride returned an interception 19 yards for a touchdown to give Missouri its largest lead of the night at 35-17 with 4:39 to play in the third quarter. That play came a little more than a minute after Hardy, who scored on a 10-yard run late in the first half, raced to the end zone from 72 yards out. Trevion Williams stripped the ball from Hardy, and Malick Sylla recovered it near midfield with about a minute into the third quarter. Ten plays, Shapen scored his second rushing touchdown of the game from 3 yards out to cut Missouri's lead to 21-17. Mississippi State reached the Missouri 2 on a 16-play drive, but Ethan Myers' low snap on a 25-yard field-goal attempt ricocheted off holder Marlon Hauck's left knee. Pride recovered the fumble and returned it 62 yards to the Bulldogs' 23 yard line with 5:03 remaining in the second quarter. - Missouri/AP College Football

10/25/25 - Beau Pribula, rJr/2027, Missouri, 6-2, 212 (DS#10 QB) + More +

Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula dislocated his left ankle and will have an MRI exam Sunday, coach Eli Drinkwitz said Saturday after the 15th-ranked Tigers' 17-10 loss to No. 10 Vanderbilt. Drinkwitz said Pribula didn't have any broken bones but needed his ankle popped back into joint. "Don't have a timetable for his return, but it could be a while," Drinkwitz said. Pribula was hurt early in the third quarter running out of the shotgun on fourth-and-goal at the Vanderbilt 2. Miles Capers and Bryan Longwell stopped Pribula after a 1-yard gain with 11:15 left in the third quarter of a 3-3 game. One defender landed on Pribula's ankle as he was folded backward from defenders coming the other direction.

The quarterback didn't get up, and trainers quickly brought a bag out and placed an air cast over his left ankle. Then he was put on a cart and taken for further treatment. The Tigers turned to freshman Matt Zollers. He came in having completed all six of his pass attempts for 40 yards with one touchdown. He also has a rushing touchdown. Zollers gave Missouri a chance until time expired, throwing a 6-yard TD pass to Jude James tying it up at 10 early in the fourth quarter. Zoller moved the Tigers down the field and connected with Kevin Coleman Jr. for a 36-yard pass as time expired only to have the receiver ruled on review short of the goal line. The freshman finished 14 of 23 for 138 yards passing. - AP College Football

No. 16 Missouri may have delivered the knockout blow to Auburn coach Hugh Freeze. Beau Pribula scored on a 3-yard run in the second overtime, lifting Missouri to a 23-17 victory over reeling Auburn on Saturday night. Ahmad Hardy ran for 58 yards and two scores for Missouri (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference). The Tigers bounced back from a home loss to Alabama to beat the other team from the state. "We talked all week about how the game was played between the lines, not to let the exterior factors of the noise and the stadium affect us," Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said. "The guys did a great job, and I just thought there was a refusal to lose."

Missouri got a defensive stop on fourth down on the final possession in overtime to seal the one-possession victory. "This just sucks," Freeze said. "This stinks, and there's nothing you can say to make anyone feel better in that locker room. Our fans are incredible, and we'd love to be at Toomer's (Corner) with them right now. But we're still obviously not finding ways to win games." Auburn has dropped 11 of its last 13 SEC games, and Freeze is 5-15 in league play. Pribula threw for 252 yards, with two interceptions, and ran for 28 more. Hardy's short run with 5:07 to go in regulation tied the game at 17. Auburn (3-4, 0-4) intercepted Pribula's pass in the final drive of regulation to send it to overtime, but Alex McPherson missed a field goal on Auburn's first possession. It was his third miss of the night. Blake Craig missed a winning attempt on the other end for Missouri. Auburn opened the scoring with Jackson Arnold scoring from a yard out. But coach Hugh Freeze's team - like so many other times in his three seasons - had trouble moving the ball for most of the game. Arnold finished with 207 yards passing and his first interception of the season. Freeze, however, has hopeful they can turn it around. "If you look at this stretch of games, they were all really good teams," Freeze said. "And we were really close. Eventually they'll start to flip our way." Jeremiah Cobb had 111 yards on the ground. Cam Coleman caught six passes for 108 yards. - Missouri/AP College Football

If Missouri drops in the rankings, it likely won't be far. The Tigers were every bit in the game for all four quarters. A close loss to a top-10 Alabama team could cause some movement, but it shouldn't set the Tigers back too far in the rankings. - AP College Football

Beau Pribula completed a Missouri-record 21 straight passes, Ahmad Hardy ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns and the No. 20 Tigers beat UMass 42-6 on Saturday night to improve to 5-0. Hardy sparked the Tigers' opening drive, gaining 41 yards on four carries before limping off the field after a tackle. While Hardy headed to the medical tent, Jamal Roberts finished off the drive with a 9-yard touchdown run. UMass (0-4) capitalized on a mistake by Pribula when linebacker Timmy Hinspeter returned an interception 63 yards to the 21. Six plays later, AJ Hairston threw a 2-yard scoring pass to Max Dowling. Defensive tackle Sterling Webb blocked the extra point to keep it 7-6 lead. After that, it was all Tigers.

Pribula played virtually flawless after the interception, completing the 21 consecutive passes to break the school record of 20 set by Chase Daniel in 2008. Pribula finished 26 of 29 for 241 yards and a touchdown. Kevin Coleman Jr. led the Tigers in receiving with 12 catches for 108 yards. Hardy entered the weekend as the No. 2 rusher in FBS. It was his seventh consecutive 100-yard rushing game. Hairston was 11 of 31 for 75 yards, along with a touchdown and an interception. - Missouri/AP College Football
