Here comes the big one.
No. 21 Missouri’s biggest game of the season so far is on tap for Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the Tigers (6-1, 2-1 SEC) will face the No. 15 Crimson Tide (5-2, 2-2 SEC). The game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and be televised nationally on ABC (KDNL, Channel 30 locally).
Mizzou will enter Bryant-Denny Stadium as a clear underdog, and its chances of staging an upset are likely to be determined by the health of key offensive players — namely quarterback Brady Cook, who is expected to try to play after suffering a high ankle sprain against Auburn last Saturday.
