The Auburn Tigers face off against the Missouri Tigers in an SEC matchup on October 19, 2024, with Missouri looking to extend their impressive home winning streak. Auburn, sitting at 2-4, has had a tough season so far, particularly when playing on the road, and they will need a strong all-around performance to compete with a high-flying Missouri team. Auburn’s offense, led by quarterback Robby Ashford, has been inconsistent, particularly in key moments of the game. The Tigers’ running game, led by Jarquez Hunter, has shown flashes but hasn’t been enough to carry the team. Defensively, Auburn has been vulnerable, allowing over 28 points per game this season.

On the other side, Missouri is entering this game with significant momentum, boasting a 5-1 record and strong play both offensively and defensively. Quarterback Brady Cook has been impressive, passing for over 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns. Missouri’s offense has also benefitted from running back Cody Schrader, who has provided balance and helped control the tempo in most games. Defensively, Missouri has allowed just over 20 points per game, and their ability to create pressure in the backfield has been key in shutting down opponents. With Missouri playing at home, where they’ve dominated in recent years, they are heavily favored to take control of this game and potentially secure their sixth win of the season.
