Missouri Tigers, Auburn

At this time a month ago, Missouri‘s 2026 recruiting class was dead-last in the SEC and the Tigers didn’t feature a single blue-chip commitment. And that was coming off a second-straight 10-win season for Eli Drinkwitz and Co.
The nation's top-ranked safety didn't hesitate to express his disappointment with Auburn after its 23-17 loss to Missouri.
Missouri football faces Alabama in a top-15 showdown Saturday. You can find live updates of every key play and score change from the game here.
Though it felt like Alabama dominated the first half, the Crimson Tide entered halftime with a narrow 17-10 lead. Missouri quickly eliminated that advantage in the third quarter when it turned a strip-sack of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson into a five-yard rushing touchdown from Pribula to tie the game.
The issues Missouri needs to address go deeper than Pribula’s accuracy. His jumpiness in the pocket, decision-making and lack of deep passes are a cause for concern, potentially. Mizzou needs to improve in these areas immediately, because the heart of the SEC schedule has arrived.
The Missouri Tigers were rewarded on Sunday after their 23-17 double overtime defeat of the Auburn Tigers. In the latest AP Top 25, Missouri was bumped up one spot from No. 16 to No. 15. Week 8 of the college football season concluded four consecutive weeks of Auburn playing teams ranked in the top 25. That is life in the SEC, though.
Meadows, who has now appeared in four games as a true freshman, has yet to log a catch this season. He signed with Alabama in 2025 out of Las Vegas, Nevada, powerhouse Bishop Gorman High School. The 6-foot-5 and 212-pound Meadows ranked as the No. 61 prospect nationally and No. 10 wide receiver in his class.
Another strong start ended in disappointment at Jordan Hare Saturday night as the Tigers lost a fourth-quarter lead in overtime to fall 23-17 to No. 16 Missouri in a slow, drawn-out tug of war.
