(AP) -- The Missouri Tigers begin a stretch of four straight games against league foes from the state of Texas, and it all gets underway this Saturday at #16-ranked Texas A&M .
Kickoff for the game is set for 11 a.m. (central time) in College Station, Texas, with the game being televised on F/X.
The Tigers are looking to bounce back from a 45-24 home loss to then-#6 Oklahoma State last Saturday, in a game plagued by four MU turnovers that were the difference in the game, as the miscues led directly to 21 Cowboy points.
Mizzou gained 463 yards of offense, but couldn't overcome the turnovers, nor an Okie State offense that put together a 533-yard day.
Mizzou will attempt to get well against a Texas A&M squad which has rolled to 3 straight wins, including victories at Texas Tech at home against then-#20 Baylor and last week at Iowa State (
The Aggies have had a tough time defending the pass, as they come into Saturday's game against Mizzou ranked last in the nation (120th) in pass defense, allowing 335.43 yards per game.
On the converse, they've proven to be among the stingiest in the nation against the run, as they rank 5th nationally in rush defense, giving up on average just 79.86 yards per contest.
