Auburn Week
Look, I’m just going to go out and say it — this Auburn game is winnable. No question about it. However, Missouri’s issues on the offensive line desperately needs to be addressed/fixed.
Looking to mix things up, the right guard position has either Connor Wood OR Mitchell Walters. Here’s a full look at this week’s depth chart, from Columbia Missourian’s Jack Soble:

This is also a welcome sign. According to KOMU’s Nate Brenner — offensive tackle Hyrin White was spotted at Tuesday’s practice:

The biggest news heading into Saturday’s game dropped on the Auburn side as their starting quarterback T.J. Finley has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury. From other reports, it’s expected that Robby Ashford will get the start at QB.
Source: Auburn quarterback T.J. Finley will not be available for the SEC opener this weekend against Missouri due to a shoulder injury. Unclear if it’ll keep him out beyond this weekend, though.

Mizzou DC Blake Baker meeting with media, was told TJ Finley reportedly out for Auburn. "Oh, is he out? Didn’t know that." Says Mizzou has been preparing for multiple Auburn QBs this week.

Moving on to basketball recruiting, according to On3Sports — Dennis Parker, a four-star small forward from Richmond, Virginia has Mizzou in his final five schools (along with Georgetown, NC State, Oklahoma State, and USC). Parker will also be on an official visit to Mizzou this weekend:

- Isiaih Mosley is him!
Among qualified players, Missouri transfer Isiaih Mosley was the only man in college basketball to shoot greater than 50% FG, 40% 3P, and 90% FT. He did so while being just 1 of 20 players to score over 20 PPG. Missouri should be drastically improved in Year 1 under Dennis Gates. pic.twitter.com/EGdpqHyWxM
