Memorial Stadium in Columbia is sold out Saturday evening for a program record 20th straight time, as Mizzou football hosts Mississippi State on Senior Day.
Eliah Drinkwitz and Mizzou will honor 20 seniors before the game. Mizzou is 6-3 and 2-3 in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers have lost two straight to Top-10 teams: Vanderbilt and Texas A&M.
