Mizzou swaps opponents for Saturday, playing Vanderbilt instead of Arkansas

Another Missouri football game is moving off the calendar. Instead of playing host to Arkansas on Saturday, the Tigers will play Vanderbilt at Memorial Stadium, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday evening.

The Mizzou-Arkansas matchup is instead postponed because of a combination of positive COVID-19 tests, contact tracing and quarantining of individuals within the Arkansas program. No makeup date has been announced for the game.

Mizzou (3-3) and Vanderbilt (0-7) will kick off at 11 a.m. on SEC Network. The Tigers and Commodores were originally scheduled to play on Oct. 17, but that game was tentatively rescheduled for Dec.
