It's Homecoming at Missouri this weekend, and the Missouri Tiger football team (3-4 overall, 0-4 in SEC action) looks to get back in the winner's circle as they play host to the Kentucky Wildcats (1-7, 0-5) at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field. Kickoff for the nationally-televised game (ESPNU) is set for 11 a.m.
A limited number of tickets do remain available for the game.
Mizzou is coming off of a bye week, which followed a very rugged schedule during the first part of the season, with games against top-10 teams Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
The Tigers are looking to break a two-game losing streak, having dropped their last two outings at home to Vanderbilt (19-15 on Oct. 6) and at home to #1 Alabama (42-10 on Oct. 13).
A win would even Mizzou's home record at 3-3 on the season, and would give the Tigers their first-ever SEC win as a member of the league.
Kentucky enters Saturday's game also looking to turn the tide on what has been a tough season to date.
The Wildcats have dropped six consecutive games coming into Saturday's contest, but three of the losses in that stretch were very competitive games, including a tight loss at home last weekend to Georgia (L, 29-24).
Kentucky also lost a competitive game at home to Mississippi State (L, 27-14 on Oct. 6) and they dropped an overtime heartbreaker on Sept. 15th to Western Kentucky (L, 32-31).
