If Missouri football is able to pick up a signature win on the road at Vanderbilt, the Tigers will have to do so without starting quarterback Beau Pribula.
The Penn State transfer sustained a leg injury in the third quarter on a fourth-and-goal quarterback keeper on the Vanderbilt 1-yard line. He was carted off the field with an aircast on his leg after being tended to by members of the Tigers’ medical staff.
True freshman Matt Zoller is in at quarterback for Pribula. With Pribula currently out of the game, Missouri is down two of its top quarterbacks, as Sam Horn sustained a season-ending fractured tibia injury on his right leg on the first play of the season against Central Arkansas.
Pribula entered Saturday’s top-15 matchup against the Commodores with 1,617 passing yards and 11 touchdown passes through the first seven games of the season, while adding five rushing touchdowns and 210 rushing yards on 67 carries.

ESPN sideline reporter Kris Budden reported on the broadcast that Pribula wasn’t visibly showing signs of discomfort as he was brought off the field and into the tunnel, but that he was frustrated and dejected on the field.
Pribula was seen being taken back to the locker room sitting in a wheelchair.
