Live Updates: No. 19 Mizzou is Behind Auburn 17-14 at the Start of the Fourth Quarter
The No. 19 Missouri Tigers will host the Auburn Tigers on Saturday, Oct. 19 for a Week 8 matchup.
The game will be the main event for the University's Homecoming, celebrating the event for the 113th time.
The University of Missouri has a storied history with Homecoming, with the University taking the controversial claim to the creation of the event in 1911 when head football coach Chester Brewer invited the school's alumni back for a game against Kansas.
Missouri is 67-40-5 on Homecoming games all time, winning each of the last seven. Missouri will hope to continue that streak in Week 8 as it resumes SEC play.
