The Missouri Tigers (5-3 overall, 1-3 in Big 12 Conference play) return home to take on the Baylor Bears (3-5, 0-4) Saturday at Faurot Field, with kickoff set for 1:07 p.m. 

The game will not be televised, marking the first MU game not to be shown on any kind of TV since game #9 of the 2008 season, when the Tigers played at Baylor

Mizzou is looking to get some momentum going for the stretch run of conference play, and hopes to build on its first Big 12 win of the season.  The Tigers are coming off a 36-17 win at Colorado last week, which broke a three-game losing streak.

Mizzou jumped out to a 21-0 first quarter lead in Boulder, and extended it to a 33-0 edge before the Buffaloes mounted a rally to close to within 33-17 in the second half.  But it wasn’t enough as the Tiger defense clamped down, thanks to 4 CU turnovers and 8 QB sacks of CU’s Tyler Hansen (including 3 alone by freshman DE Aldon Smith.

Baylor is coming off a 20-10 Homecoming loss to Nebraska last week that saw the Bears fall behind by a 20-0 count at halftime. 

The Bears did not manage an offensive TD all game against Nebraska’s stingy defense, but a field goal and interception return for a score in the 3rd quarter, coupled with a second half defensive shutout, got the Bears back in the game. 

Three times in the 4th quarter, Baylor reached the Nebraska 20-yardline or closer, only to get turned away each time, once on a missed 29-yard field goal, followed by a pair of turnovers on downs.
