With two division rivals falling on Saturday in the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs to the unranked South Carolina Gamecocks Between the Hedges in Athens and the No. 7 Florida Gators to the No. 5 LSU Tigers at night in Death Valley, the Missouri Tigers find themselves in first place in the SEC East standing. Mizzou football improved to 5-1 (2-0) on the year after beating the Ole Miss Rebels.
While we can expect both Florida and Georgia to get right in their upcoming games against South Carolina and the Kentucky Wildcats, respectively, Saturday is an opportunity for the Tigers to put some respect on their name when they travel to Nashville to take on the lowly Vanderbilt Commodores.
