It’s UMass week.

Missouri football will host the formerly independent, now-Mid-American Conference Massachusetts Minutemen on Saturday night on Faurot Field to round out the Tigers ’ nonconference schedule for the 2025 season.

Mizzou (4-0, 1-0 SEC) is playing its final matchup before heading into its first idle week of the campaign. The Tigers have recorded Power-conference wins over South Carolina and Kansas to reach Week 5 undefeated.

UMass (0-3) is without a win in its first season as a MAC member under new head coach Joe Harasymiak. The Minutemen lost to Iowa, Temple and were walked off by FCS-level Bryant at home.

Missouri is a six-touchdown favorite for what is its homecoming game. Looking for a free mini puzzle? Play the USA TODAY Quick Cross now.
