The 2022 season comes down to this week for the Missouri Tigers.
Facing off against the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Tigers will host the annual Battle Line Rivalry yet again, this time with a bowl berth on the line.
At 5-6, Mizzou needs one more win to secure that bowl bid. Arkansas, however, picked up its sixth victory of the season in last week’s 42-27 victory over then-No. 14 Ole Miss, giving them an opportunity to salvage the season with a .500 conference record while also ending the Tigers’ season.
As they prepare for Friday afternoon’s high-stakes rivalry game, several Mizzou players as well as defensive coordinator Blake Baker discussed what the game means to them and provided an update on where the team is at.
