Mizzou reportedly has ‘early optimism’ for Beau Pribula’s status vs. Oklahoma
Published:
Mizzou quarterback Beau Pribula could return to the lineup this week against Oklahoma, according to a report.
That’s per CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, who notes there is “early optimism” regarding Pribula’s status for Mizzou‘s Week 13 game against the Sooners. Pribula has been out for a couple weeks after suffering an ankle injury against Vanderbilt.

Pribula notably warmed up prior to Mizzou’s win over Mississippi State in Week 12. The Tigers got a huge effort from Ahmad Hardy in that game, as he rushed for 300 yards in that win vs. the Bulldogs.
True freshman quarterback Matt Zollers has been filling in for the injured Pribula. Zollers was solid against Mississippi State, throwing for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns on 15 attempts.
While Mizzou may be eliminated from College Football Playoff contention, the Tigers could certainly play spoiler against their old Big 12 rivals. Oklahoma is poised to reach the CFP this season if it wins out, but that would mean beating Missouri in Norman this weekend.
Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
