COLUMBIA, Mo. The Southeastern Conference unveiled its 2019 schedule Tuesday and with that announcement, Mizzou Football’s 2019 schedule is now complete. Mizzou’s home schedule includes seven exciting games, including games against Power 5 opponent West Virginia and SEC foes South Carolina, Ole Miss, Florida and Tennessee. Mizzou also welcomes Southeast Missouri and Troy to Memorial Stadium in 2019.
Mizzou’s SEC West crossover opponent is Ole Miss, as the Rebels will make their way to Columbia for an Oct. 12 game, serving as Mizzou’s 108th Homecoming game. Below is the complete schedule.
Mizzou opens 2019 with a road trip to Laramie, Wyo., on Aug. 31 for a rematch of this season’s game with the Cowboys that the Tigers won, 40-13. Next up, West Virginia pays a return visit to Columbia on Saturday, Sept. 7, the final game in a home-and-home that began back in 2016. The Mountaineers won that game, 26-11, in Mizzou head coach Barry Odom’s coaching debut. The all-time series between the two programs is knotted at three wins apiece. One of Mizzou’s three wins in the series came in the 1998 Insight Bowl.
The West Virginia game marks the first of five straight home games at Memorial Stadium. Southeast Missouri comes to The Zou on Sept. 14, followed by a Sept. 21 showdown with South Carolina. Mizzou leads the all-time series with SEMO, 3-0, and the all-time series with South Carolina is tied, 4-4.
Mizzou will have the first of two bye weeks on Sept. 28 before hosting Troy on Oct. 5. The five-game homestand ends with the Homecoming tilt against Ole Miss on Oct. 12. Mizzou leads the all-time series with Ole Miss, 6-1, and has won the last five meetings, dating back to 1978. The two teams last met in Columbia in 2006 as the will be the Rebels’ first trip to Columbia since Mizzou joined the SEC.
Mizzou then hits the road for three consecutive games, beginning Oct. 19 in Nashville for a date with the Vanderbilt Commodores. The following week Mizzou heads to Kentucky on Oct. 26 and will then be off for its second bye on Nov. 2. The three-game road stretch ends Nov. 9 between the hedges against Georgia.
Mizzou then hosts Florida (Nov. 16) and Tennessee (Nov. 23) to round out its home schedule before traveling to Little Rock for the Battle Line Rivalry against Arkansas on Nov. 30.
Mizzou will continue its 2018 season this Saturday to host No. 2/3 Georgia in a battle of SEC East unbeaten. The game will air at 11 a.m. on ESPN.
