Missouri was all set to take the field on Oct. 17 after an upset win over LSU a week prior. However, due to the effects of the coronavirus on the Vanderbilt football team, the meeting between the Tigers and the Commodores was pushed back to Dec. 12.
Instead, Mizzou had an unexpected bye week, gaining some extra time to prepare for a Kentucky team that has posted 2 terrific defensive performances in a row. Not only will the Tigers be looking to break a 5-game losing streak to the Wildcats, but they will be out to get to the .500 mark and even its record to 2-2 on the season.
On Thursday evening, the Tigers released its hype video for the game against the Wildcats, featuring highlights from the win over LSU and a short voiceover from head coach Eli Drinkwitz.
