No. 21 Missouri presents first major test after 3-0 start

Mississippi State hosts ranked Missouri at 6:45 p.m. CT on September 24 after opening 3-0 and 1-0 in the SEC. The Tigers' balanced offense will challenge a Bulldogs defense now missing Trevion Williams and Diesel Moye for the season; third-down defense, Taylor's efficiency and the team's penalty rate remain key indicators.
