Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 14:38:40 GMT

COLUMBIA, Mo. - It's not only a clash of two Tigers this weekend in mid-Missouri, but also the first ranked-vs.-ranked home matchup for Mizzou Football in nearly a decade. The undefeated Missouri Tigers have a tough task ahead this weekend against a college football juggernaut in the Louisiana State University Tigers. Mizzou is ranked 21 in AP's Top 25 at 5-0, while LSU is ranked 23 at 3-2, albeit with losses to two ranked teams.

"I give them more than a little bit of a shot in this game, and part of it is because of the defense, not just the offense," said Matt Stinchcomb via the SEC...
