COLUMBIA, Mo. — It will be another idle Saturday on Faurot Field.
The Southeastern Conference postponed Missouri’s home football game against Georgia scheduled for Saturday because of positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing within MU’s program, the conference announced Wednesday morning.
Mizzou-Georgia became the SEC’s fourth COVID casualty that was postponed for the coming weekend, joining Auburn-Mississippi State, LSU-Alabama and Texas A&M-Tennessee. Earlier this season, Mizzou games against Vanderbilt and Florida were rescheduled because of both opponents’ COVID-depleted rosters.
As of Tuesday, the Tigers had one positive case within its program and other high-risk close contacts required to quarantine.
