COLUMBIA, Mo. — For a couple of weeks earlier in this college football season, Vanderbilt looked like a program that might be on the doorstep. Now, it’s unclear whether the Commodores can do more than be the doormat of the Southeastern Conference.
No. 7 Missouri (3-0) hosts Vanderbilt (2-1) at 3:15 p.m. Saturday in both schools’ first SEC game of the 2024 season.
The ’Dores have already had a roller coaster of an opening three weeks to the campaign. They surprised Virginia Tech in Week 1, missing a potential game-winning field goal as time expired but scoring a touchdown and getting a stop in overtime for a victory.
