Here are three keys to victory for Auburn against Missouri. Missouri has an experienced quarterback in Brady Cook, a two-headed monster in the backfield. He’s completed 64.7% of his passes while thrown seven touchdown passes to just one interception. He’s also rushed for 124 yards and four touchdowns.

Marcus Carroll rushed for two first-half touchdowns and Mizzou led 24-3 by intermission. That advantage swelled to 45-3 through three quarters, and that proved to be the final score at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium in Amherst, Mass.

After a much-needed bye week, Auburn returns to the field Saturday against one of the most puzzling teams in the Southeastern Conference. Missouri is up next for Hugh Freeze and his Tigers as both teams go into the matchup with things to prove.
