Everything you should know about Mizzou vs. Auburn; Homecoming Parade, Week 8 College Football

The No. 19 Missouri Tigers host the Auburn Tigers for a Week 8 game on Saturday, October 19th.

The game will be the main event of the university’s homecoming, marking the 113th year of the event.

The University of Missouri has a rich history with Homecoming. The university lays controversial claim to the event’s founding in 1911, when head coach Chester Brewer invited the school’s alumni to a game against Kansas.

Missouri is 67-40-5 all-time in homecoming games and has won each of its last seven. Missouri hopes to continue that streak in Week 8 when it resumes SEC play.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Homecoming Parade and the game.

The University of Missouri (Mizzou) Homecoming Parade begins at 8 a.m. Saturday. The parade will also be streamed on KOMU.

The parade route begins on Rollins Street, between the Reynolds Alumni Center and Stankowski Fields, continues down Hitt Street, past Memorial Union, turns onto Ninth Street in downtown Columbia and ends at Broadway and Cherry Street.

A sensory viewing area will be available at the corners of Broadway and Fifth Street until the end of the parade on Cherry Street.

Series: Missouri is 1-3 and has lost all three meetings since joining the SEC in 2012.

Last meeting: September 24, 2022 — Serious errors caused Missouri to suffer a 17-14 loss to Auburn. A nine-play, 62-yard drive by Missouri in the final two minutes gave kicker Harrison Mevis a chance to win the game as time expired, but he was no longer good at 26. Auburn’s Ander Carlson was good at 39 on the first drive in overtime, followed by Missouri running back Nate Peat fumbling the ball at the goal line, giving Aubrun the recovery and the win.

Last time, Missouri: Completing a two-game road trip, Missouri took care of business at UMass and won 45-3 to secure its fifth win of the season.

Last time, Auburn: Auburn is coming off a bye week followed by a 31-13 loss to Georgia in Week 6. Auburn’s only touchdown came on a 38-yard run by running back Jacquez Hunter in the third quarter. Hunter rushed for 91 yards on 13 carries that day.
