How to watch today’s LSU Tigers vs. Missouri Tigers game: Livestream options, starting time, more

In one of the biggest matchups of the Week 6 NCAA college football schedule, the LSU Tigers square off against Mizzou in a must-win game for the Tigers from Baton Rouge. Missouri quarterback Brady Cook put all of college football on notice with his performance in Week 5. Throwing 395 yards and four touchdowns in Missouri’s 38-21 win over Vanderbilt, Brady has thrown 347 passes without an interception — an NCAA record.

Ranked 11th in the SEC in pass defense, LSU has given up 13 touchdown passes and has only picked off four. That’s an SEC-worst, which makes defending against Cook an even bigger challenge.

If LSU wants to win (and keep their champions hopes alive), they’ll need to apply enough pressure to stop Cook and break his no-pick streak.  Sure to be a dog fight (actually, a Tiger fight), this is a can’t miss game in a weekend of terrific college ball like the Red River Rivalry game between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns or the wild matchup between defending champion Georgia Bulldogs and the Kentucky Wildcats.

This antenna delivered that for us right out of the box.”

More teams to follow during the 2023 college football season

Important dates for the 2023 college football season:

• The 13-week 2023 college football season runs from Aug. 27 through Dec. 9.
• Two semifinal games, the Rose Bowl Game and the Allstate Sugar Bowl, are scheduled for New Year’s Day (Monday, January 1, 2024).
• The College Football Playoff National Championship is scheduled for Monday, January 8, 2024 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

The Georgia Bulldogs want to run it back. The Georgia Bulldogs became just the fifth program to win back-to-back national championships when they beat the Alabama Crimson Tide 33-18 in 2022. Since 1936, no college team has won three-in-a-row. The Bulldogs are hoping to change all that. Head coach Kirby Smart has focused on leadership skills for his players, stating the team’s biggest opponent is “complacency.” Coming into Week 6, the Bulldogs are undefeated. Three-peat? Anything’s possible with this squad.

Were Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes a fluke ? Coach Prime made headlines during the offseason. Only ten scholarship players from the Buffaloes’ 2022-season roster remain on the team after Sanders took advantage of transfer portal rules to revamp the team’s roster. Prime’s in his first season as the Buffaloes coach and he’ll hope to work the same magic on the Buffaloes program as he did in his successful three years at Jackson State.  3-2 and coming into Week 6 after losing two in a row, the Buffaloes have been criticized for having too much swagger. If anyone remembers Sanders’ NFL and MLB careers, one knows you can never have too much swagger. This is the team to watch this season even after losing two.

How will all the college football shake ups shake out?

In July 2022, UCLA and USC finally agreed on something. The frenemy rivals would both leave the Pac-12 in favor of the Big Ten in 2024. This summer, Colorado announced it would return to the Big 12. Since then, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah have announced an exodus from the Pac-12 to the Big-12 at the end of the 2023 season. Washington and Oregon State are also ditching the Pac-12 for the Big 10 at the same time. 

The school shuffling won’t affect the 2023 season much, but expect journalists to talk about it to no end. With the Pac-12 currently down to just four teams for the 2024 season, the demise of the Pac-12 is sure to be one of the biggest stories of the season.

We’re also looking forward to these stories during the 2023 NCAA college football season

The Alabama Crimson Tide came into the 2023 season ranked No. 4. Saban and company aren’t comfortable with the demotion. Still not the dominant Bama team fans have come to rely on, the Tide are hoping to be a major threat to the Bulldogs scoring that three-peat. Ohio State has arguably one of the best receiver rooms in college football led by the dazzling Marvin Harrison Jr. The Buckeyes are coming into Week 6 undefeated, but so are the opposing Maryland Terrapins. They face off Saturday in a championship-worthy showdown.
