Missouri Loses OT Heartbreaker to Auburn, 17-14 : Live Game Updates

Stay with MizzouSportsTalk.com as we provide live updates from Missouri's road matchup with SEC rival Auburn Saturday afternoon.

It's a battle for big cat supremacy in Week 4 as the Missouri Tigers travel to Jordan Hare Stadium to clash with the Auburn Tigers. It's the first SEC matchup for Mizzou in 2022 and they'll be looking to start conference play with a big road win.

Missouri will be coming off its "tune-up" game against Abilene Christian, a 34-17 victory, meaning the core staff should be well-rested and ready for action.

Much like Mizzou, Auburn is at a crossroads in its program's history. One year after firing Gus Malzahn, boosters contemplated firing Bryan Harsin after minimal success down the stretch. Things haven't necessarily improved on The Plains since multiple players elected to enter the transfer portal while little joined the roster in return. 

They received more unfortunate news earlier this week when it was announced that Auburn's usual starting quarterback, TJ Finley, would miss this weekend's game with a shoulder injury. Instead, Auburn will start freshman Robby Ashford, which changes both team's game plans.

Missouri's expectations are nowhere near the level of Auburn, but after a frustrating 2021 with Eli Drinkwitz, the Tigers need to make progress in 2022.

The SEC battle is set to kick off at 11 am (CT), and Mizzou will need to start fast if they want to leave Jordan Hare with a W. Drinkwitz's offense has to be firing on all cylinders for four full quarters, and the passing game should be in effect against Auburn's inexperienced secondary.
