How to watch Middle Tennessee State vs. Missouri game today? Time, channel, TV schedule and live stream - September 9 | College Football Week 2

Eli Drinkwitz's Missouri Tigers started their season on a high note with a routine 35-10 win over South Dakota while Middle Tennessee, as expected, was steamrolled by Alabama.

It was the Cory Schrader show as the running back rushed for 138 yards on 18 carries for Mizzou against South Dakota.

Meanwhile, the Blue Raiders were shredded by the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa 56-7 as Nick Saban's side made a statement in their season opener.

The Blue Raiders have met Mizzou twice before, beating the Tigers 51-45 in their most recent meeting in 2016.

Drinkwitz was asked whether they had powered down during the win against Dakota which wasn't quite a blowout as expected against an FCS side:

“No not at all. We only let the things that occurred during the game dictate the game. So, we didn’t save anything, we didn’t hide anything.”

The Caliber of the opponent and the home-field advantage make Mizzou strong favorites for this tie even though Middle Tennessee will put up a valiant fight.

Speaking to the media before the game against the Blue Raiders, Drinkwitz discussed his quarterback depth chart:

“We will be moving forward with Brady Cook as our quarterback and quarterback No. 1 while giving Sam [Horn] opportunities to grow throughout the game. It won’t look the same as it did this past week as far as maybe equal first half and second half.”
