Coming off a thrilling comeback win vs. Auburn, No. 21 Mizzou travels to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to face the No. 15-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday.
Missouri (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) beat Auburn 21-17, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 46 seconds to play after trailing 17-3 midway through the third quarter.
The victory vs. an Auburn team that has yet to win a conference game continued Mizzou's trend of victories that don't exactly inspire confidence. Saturday, the Tigers can start to put to rest some of the unease that's the result of so many comeback wins.
A win vs. Alabama, however it may come, would prove the Tigers' quality. Another blowout loss, like Mizzou suffered at Texas A&M in its only other tough road game this season, would inspire more doubt.
Alabama (5-2, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) lost 24-17 Saturday at No. 11 Tennessee.
