The Missouri Tigers (1-0) will make history when they hit the field this Saturday to take on the #6-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (1-0), in what will be the first SEC league game in Mizzou history.
Kickoff for the historic contest is set for 6:45 p.m., with the game being televised on ESPN2.
The conference lidlifter will take place with a capacity crowd on hand to see if the Tigers can continue the momentum from last week's 62-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana - a game that saw Mizzou jump out to a commanding 28-0 lead less than eight minutes in.
Georgia comes into its first-ever visit to Columbia with an identical 1-0 record on the year, after the Bulldogs claimed a 45-23 home win last Saturday over a scrappy Buffalo team.
After the Bulls pulled to within 24-16 at halftime, Georgia owned the second half, scoring three unanswered touchdowns to pull away for a comfortable 45-16 lead by midway through the 4th quarter.
Mizzou has won 2 of 3 games at home in the friendly confines of Faurot Field/Memorial Stadium against ranked visitors in the last two seasons (2010-11).
In 2010, #3-ranked Oklahoma (#1 in the BCS rankings) went home with their first loss of the season (a 36-27 Tiger win).
Last year, two ranked foes came to Columbia, and the Tigers split those outings, losing to #6 Oklahoma State (45-24), and later downing #21 Texas (17-5).
