Mizzou-Vandy football game postponed

The Missouri football team's homecoming game scheduled for Saturday against Vanderbilt will be postponed to a later date, multiple sources confirmed Monday. The reason is related to Vandy's depleted roster because of COVID-19 cases. PowerMizzou.com reported the news first.

The Southeastern Conference is expected to formally announce the decision Monday afternoon. This would be the first SEC game postponed for reasons related to COVID-19.

Vanderbilt (0-3) played Saturday's game against South Carolina with only 56 scholarship players. The SEC's coronavirus protocols allow teams to postpone games if they have fewer than 53 scholarship players available.
