QUOTABLE: “You can tell people are excited, and it's good," Kansas coach Lance Leipold said on Monday. "I think that's what makes college football what it is. We believe in doing things the right way. Compete hard on the field, have it settled there, not in a parking lot or in the stands or all those different things that may happen at times. We want to make sure that we're at our best when our best is needed.”

KU’S LANCE LEIPOLD PROVIDES INJURY UPDATES FOR KEY PLAYERS
As Kansas heads to Mizzou for its heated rivalry, coach Lance Leipold provided some injury updates to a few key players. Bangally Kamara is the biggest name of the group, as the star linebacker has racked up four tackles, one forced fumble, and one sack this season.
P FINN LAPPIN
“Finn was just held. He had a tweak of something, and he was limited today. So we’ll see how that goes for the week,” Leipold said.
LB BANGALLY KAMARA
“He did not practice today, that’s my update,” Leipold said.
OL JACK TANNER
“Jack Tanner did not practice today as well,” Leipold said. “[He and Bangally] are not on the depth chart, so you can probably figure where that’s trending for both.”
