COLUMBIA, MO. • Greetings from Memorial Stadium, where Mizzou’s four-game season-opening homestand comes to end with tonight’s visit from No. 15 Auburn. Mizzou (1-2, 0-1) and Auburn (2-1) kick off at 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
Quarterback Drew Lock is wearing a clear shield on his facemask to protect a nose injury suffered Tuesday in practice, sources confirmed. He went through pregame warmups as usual and is expected to start. Wide receiver Richaud Floyd’s left elbow connected with Lock’s nose on a botched exchange on a handoff in the backfield. Lock and Floyd both needed stitches after the collision.
