COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Last week was a bad week to be a Tiger in the Southeastern Conference.
LSU was blown out by Mississippi State, Missouri scored just three points in a loss to Purdue, and Auburn struggled mightily to put away FCS opponent Mercer.
No. 15 Auburn (2-1) and Missouri (1-2, 0-1 SEC) will now face off Saturday, with coaches Gus Malzahn and Barry Odom among the SEC coaches currently on the hot seat .
Auburn has struggled with a dormant offense, which posted just 117 yards against Clemson and committed four turnovers against Mercer.
