Texas heads to Columbia for one of its toughest remaining SEC tests, and The Morning Kickoff is breaking down what it will take for the Longhorns to leave Missouri with a win. We discuss the key areas Texas must establish early, including controlling the line of scrimmage, protecting Arch Manning, finishing drives, and creating balance on offense. We also examine the latest injury concerns facing the Longhorns, the challenges presented by Missouri's physical rushing attack and stout run defense, and why Texas' depth will be put to the test on the road. Plus, we react to Texas Basketball's dominant season-opening victory, preview the biggest college football games of the weekend, and discuss the NFL's top matchups heading into Sunday.

Longhorn legend Rod Babers joined The Morning Kickoff to discuss Texas' game plan heading into a pivotal SEC road matchup against Missouri. Rod shared his thoughts on creative ways Steve Sarkisian can get the Longhorn running game going, why offensive balance will be critical in Columbia, and how Arch Manning can benefit from a productive ground attack. He also broke down Missouri's dangerous rushing offense, the Tigers' physical run defense, and what Texas must do on both sides of the ball to leave Columbia with a victory. If Texas wants to continue its success against ranked opponents, Rod explains where the battle will be won and lost on Saturday.

Missouri week continues, but the biggest storyline for Texas is an injury report that's growing at a critical point in the season. On this episode of The Morning Kickoff, we discuss what the Longhorns can do to overcome personnel losses, which players need to elevate their game, and why Texas' defense could be the key to leaving Columbia with a win.
