Why a Friday Rivalry Game Matters
The Border War is one of the oldest rivalries west of the Mississippi and it went dormant for years after Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC. Getting it back on a standalone Friday night on network television is the point of scheduling it here.
With no competition in the window, a rivalry game gets the whole country’s attention rather than being one of fifteen simultaneous noon kickoffs.
The Rest of Friday
The four other Friday games all went to the home team: NC State 73, Richmond 0; Virginia 59, Norfolk State 3; Louisville 59, Villanova 13; and Boston College 28, Rutgers 21 in the closest game of the night.
The Bottom Line
Missouri 38, Kansas 21 in Lawrence. A real rivalry with the Friday night stage to itself, and the Tigers made it two straight since the series came back.
