Passing the Torch: Faces of Missouri Football’s Past and Future shine in Senior Day victory

An era of Missouri Tigers football is quickly coming to an end.

Mizzou celebrated Senior Day on Saturday and sent the latest generation of Tigers to the infamous Rock M to take a piece of Mizzou history with them.

“That was the main goal this week to get the seniors their rocks,” wide receiver Luther Burden III said.

The sendoff featured a 45-14 victory over the New Mexico State Aggies, who entered as a fellow four-win program in search of a season-defining memory. Instead, the Tigers left the taste of victory in Columbia ahead of a pivotal Battle Line rivalry game against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
