Missouri football looks to get back in win column against Florida | Fulton Sun

Missouri returns to action with a chance to rebound from its first loss of the season, hosting No. 8 Florida for Homecoming at Faurot Field. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. today, with the game shown locally on KMIZ. The Tigers, ranked 25th, fell 31-24 at Mississippi State last week after slow starts and a poor finish. Missouri was scoreless in the first quarter and fell behind 14-0, extending a trend of being held without a point in the first 15 minutes. They rallied to lead 24-17 entering the fourth, but went scoreless on all four final-quarter drives. Florida arrives after a 52-28 win over then-No. 4 Mississippi, pushing the Gators to No. 8 in the AP poll. The offense averages 53.5 points per game, led by a rushing attack that posts 260 yards weekly.
