The Tigers are en route to New England.
In one of the more novel matchups on Saturday’s college football slate, Missouri football is traveling to Amherst, Massachusetts, to face UMass for the first time in program history.
The Tigers (4-1, 1-1 SEC) are coming off a 41-10 loss at Texas A&M, which was their first defeat since last November and ended the longest active FBS winning streak.
Mizzou doesn’t have much room for error remaining if it is going to reach the expanded College Football Playoff, and it isn’t widely expected to encounter much resistance in the Minutemen. Missouri is a four-touchdown favorite over Massachusetts.
UMass is 1-5 this season, with its lone win coming against Central Connecticut State. The Minutemen have lost to Eastern Michigan, Toledo Buffalo, Miami-Ohio and, most recently, Northern Illinois.
