The Missouri Tigers are coming off a huge 42-31 win over the Kansas Jayhawks in a match up that hadn't been played in 14 years.

In all truth, the Tigers looked good on both sides of the ball. It wasn't a perfect game and plenty of mistakes were made throughout it, but they did do more than enough to win.

Missouri did go down 21-6 at the end of the first quarter, stunning a very loud and hostile Faurot Field. That required an immediate response from the Tigers, which quarterback Beau Pribula and the rest of the Missouri offense helped with.

The Jayhawks didn't score any more points in the first half and the Tigers managed to tie the game heading into halftime. Pribula got the Missouri offense rolling after that.

Pribula was beyond impressive all game long, moving past the mistakes he was making to continously make big plays. He was clutch down the stretch and continued to put the Tigers in scoring position.

"There's a lot to improve on, but in the biggest moments, in the toughest times on fourth down, he was nails," Drinkwitz said.

Here's where the Tigers rank in the Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 following their Week 2 win over the Kansas Jayhawks.
