The Missouri Tigers  finish the back end of a two-game homestand  Saturday when they play host to  6th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys

Kickoff for the game, which is being televised on F/X, is set for 11:11 a.m. 

The tigers are looking to win consecutive games for the first time in 2011, after alternating wins and losses for the first four weeks.

After a bye week, the Tigers suffered a second-straight loss as it dropped a game at then #20 Kansas State, but then last week got back in the win column with a 52-17 thrashing of Iowa State in what was Mizzou's 100th Homecoming celebration.
Missouri's next four opponents have spent a majority of the season as ranked teams, including current #6 Oklahoma State, at current #17 Texas A&M, at 4-2 and much improved Baylor, followed by a home game with 4-2 Texas.

The Tigers will be looking to break a mini-skid against the Cowboys, who have won 2 straight over Mizzou, and 3 of the last 4 in the series.

The last time OSU visited Columbia, they upset the 5-0 and 3rd-ranked Tigers, 28-23, in 2008, spoiling MU's hopes for a perfect season.
