COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri's Oct. 21 homecoming game at Idaho gets the morning kickoff, slated to start at 11 a.m. on SEC Network.
As they do every year, Mizzou officials submitted a request to the league office and network partners that the homecoming game start in the afternoon or evening TV slots so school organizers can hold the annual homecoming parade and other festivities, but as the SEC's only nonconference game that day, the game was designated for the 11 a.m. slot.
Also that day, Tennessee plays at Alabama in the 2:30 p.m. national spot on CBS.
