No. 24/RV Missouri football is set to host Mississippi State on Saturday, November 15, at Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri. This game will be significant as it is the Tigers’ last home matchup of the 2025 season, following which the team will conclude its schedule on the road for the final two games.
Currently, Missouri holds a record of 6-3 overall and 2-3 in the SEC. However, the Tigers were recently eliminated from College Football Playoff contention after suffering a 38-17 defeat to the undefeated Texas A&M last Saturday.
Mississippi State enters the contest with a 5-5 record, including 1-5 in SEC play. The Bulldogs are just one victory away from securing bowl eligibility for the first time under head coach Jeff Lebby. Earlier this season, they achieved their only SEC win against Arkansas but are looking to bounce back after a 41-21 loss to Georgia last week.
The game has the potential to feature true freshmen quarterbacks for both teams, with Missouri likely starting Matt Zollers and Mississippi State possibly turning to Kamario Taylor.
As the Tigers honor their seniors during the pregame ceremony, 20 players are expected to participate, adding an extra layer of significance to the day.
For those looking to watch the game, it will be broadcast on the SEC Network, with Tom Hart as play-by-play announcer, Jordan Rodgers as the analyst, and Cole Cubelic reporting from the sidelines. Viewers can also stream the game on FUBO, which is currently offering a free trial.
Fans can tune in on local radio at 1580 AM or 105.1 FM, or through Sirius XM channels 106 or 190. The Tiger Radio Network will feature legendary announcer Mike Kelly alongside Howard Richards and Chris Gervino.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. CST. The weather in Columbia is projected to be pleasant, with temperatures around 66 degrees at kickoff and cooling to about 57 degrees by the end of the game. This matchup has already sold out, continuing an impressive record of 20 straight sold-out games for the program, although tickets are still available in the secondary market starting at $23.
As the season winds down, Missouri fans remain optimistic about their team’s potential and look forward to supporting the Tigers during this pivotal contest.
