Saturday Evening Games, Part I
5 of 6
Troy (2-0) at No. 20 Missouri (2-0), 7 p.m. ET
The full expectation is that Mizzou will win comfortably. What matters is that the Tigers maintain their offensive rhythm as SEC play looms in Week 4. Ole Miss transfer Austin Simmons has thrown for 544 yards with seven touchdowns and zero interceptions in Missouri’s two victories.
Prediction: Missouri 39, Troy 14
Florida (2-0) at Auburn (2-0), 7 p.m.
At best, both programs are viewed as third-tier SEC hopefuls. To stay in that mix, given the difficulty of their future schedules, winning this conference tilt is vital. It’ll likely be a defensive battle, so Auburn QB Byrum Brown’s ability to extend plays and create plays may be especially consequential.
Prediction: Auburn 23, Florida 20
