Memphis to battle Missouri and another of nation's top quarterbacks

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis finds itself in the midst of an unenviable run.

When the Tigers travel to Missouri Saturday to play a 3 p.m. non-conference game at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo., they'll encounter yet another of the nation's top quarterbacks.

In last weekend's 31-30 home loss to UCF, it was McKenzie Milton, a Heisman Trophy hopeful who has led the Knights to 19 straight wins. Saturday, it will be Drew Lock, who led the nation with 44 touchdown passes last season and is among the most prolific passers in Southeastern Conference history.
