Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC from Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri.
  • Starting quarterback Beau Pribula is out after an ankle dislocation, and Matt Zollers will make Missouri’s first true-freshman QB start since 2015.
  • ESPN reports that standout tight end Brett Norfleet will not play because of a shoulder injury after leading SEC tight ends with five touchdown receptions.
  • Texas A&M enters at 8-0 and No. 3 in the CFP rankings, closing a three-game road stretch with SEC and playoff positioning on the line.
  • A pivotal trench matchup looms between an Aggies offensive line that has rarely allowed sacks and a Missouri defense holding foes under 19 points and about 90 rushing yards per game, with SEC rushing leader Ahmad Hardy central to the Tigers’ attack.
