Mizzou football: Conference play begins this week

The Mizzou football team has had some ups and downs early this season, but now the real season begins.

Saturday, the Mizzou Tigers face the South Carolina Gamecocks in a 3 p.m. kickoff at home to open up SEC play. The Tigers opened the game as a double-digit favorite.

Mizzou is 2-5 in conference openers since joining the SEC in 2012. But what is more alarming is the Tigers haven’t won a conference opener since 2014.

The Tigers have lost four-straight SEC openers. In 2015, they lost at Kentucky; in 2016, they lost at home to Georgia; in 2017, they lost at home to South Carolina; and in 2018, they lost at Georgia.
