3 things to watch when No. 11 Mizzou opens 2024 season against Murray State

COLUMBIA, Mo. — And so it begins.

No. 11 Missouri opens its 2024 season at 7 p.m. Thursday against Murray State, continuing recent years’ trend of kicking off a campaign with a weeknight game.

This season, though, the game is already a sellout — a reflection of the Tigers’ stature both nationally and within their fan base.

The game will be televised on the SEC Network with Matt Barrie, former Florida coach Dan Mullen and Harry Lyles Jr. on the call.

Mizzou is favored by nearly seven touchdowns over the Racers, a Football Championship Subdivision program.
