After suffering its first loss of the 2024 season at the hands of the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 6, Missouri football is looking to get itself back on track.
The Tigers travel on the road to face the UMass Minutemen, getting a break from their Southeastern Conference schedule. The Minutemen currently have a 1-5 record, most recently taking a 34-20 loss to Northern Illinois last week.
The 41-10 loss to Texas A&M stung Missouri, but it gets an opportunity to fix the problems that held it back a week ago. Of course it won’t underestimate what UMass can do, but it’s an ideal matchup to help steer the ship back to an upward trajectory.
“How we respond will define who we are as a team and what kind of character we have as a program,” head coach Eli Drinkwitz said.

The Tigers will get their chance to respond against the Minutemen at 11 a.m. in the first meeting between both teams in either program’s history.

The driver of the Honda and the passenger, a 66-year-old-man from Meta, were not wearing seat belts and were airlifted to University Hospital in Columbia, according to the crash report. Both sustained serious injuries, according to the report.

As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.
