Related Topics: Missouri, Auburn Tigers football

As if Missouri hasn’t struggled enough to score points the past two weeks, it will face its toughest challenge yet when the Auburn Tigers visit Columbia for a 6:30 kickoff Saturday night.

MU put up a combined 16 points in losses to South Carolina and Purdue after a 72-43 Week 1 victory against FCS Missouri State.

The offense has struggled to stay on the field, holding the ball for an average of just 20 minutes per game, placing Mizzou last in FBS.

Meanwhile, the Auburn defense has been lights-out, allowing only 201.7 yards per game, second-best in the country.
