Missouri will be a banged-up group when it hosts Florida on Saturday.
The Tigers are currently 5-5 and have a chance to reach bowl eligibility for the first time since 2018 with a victory over the Gators. They’ll enter the game without several members of the secondary, namely Chris Shearin, Ish Burdine, and Shawn Robinson. Offensive lineman Bobby Lawrence also won’t play against Florida.
Meanwhile, the status of Connor Bazelak remains up in the air as the Tigers quarterback is probable to play on Saturday. Bazelak started against South Carolina in Mizzou’s previous game but was removed in the 4th quarter in favor of Brady Cook. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has opted to not throw his full support behind Bazelak or Cook starting with the game against the Gators looming.
Missouri and Florida kick off at 4 p.m. ET in Columbia. The game is set to be televised on the SEC Network.
