Ahead of a must-win game against Middle Tennessee, the Missouri Tigers were dealt a tough break.
Junior RG Alec Abeln, the only Tiger lineman with starting experience prior to this season, won’t dress for Saturday afternoon’s game:

Having Abeln out will impact the consistency the Mizzou line has had this season. Abeln’s absence is the first of the season for a Mizzou starter.
Saturday afternoon’s game kicks off in Columbia at 3 p.m. Central time and can be seen on the SEC Network.
