COLUMBIA, MO. • SEC Media Days begin next week, which means football season is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to start exploring the teams on Missouri’s schedule. We’ll start this week with the Tigers’ four nonconference opponents and then take a closer look at all 14 SEC teams starting July 17, after a week in Hoover, Ala., for the conference’s annual summer kickoff event.
Unlike most of their SEC peers, the Tigers open the season against their FCS opponent. This year, it’s not so much a familiar foe but a familiar face on the sideline.
