Missouri gets a week off to recover or stew about its lopsided loss Saturday at LSU.

The Tigers have a bye this weekend, but the Southeastern Conference announced kickoff times and broadcast information Monday for the next weekend.

Mizzou plays Florida in “The Swamp” in Gainesville, Fla., on Oct. 15.

The game will kick off at 3 p.m. on the SEC Network.

The Tigers are 2-2 overall against the Gators since joining the SEC in 2012, including 1-1 in Gainesville — a 14-7 loss in 2012 and a 42-13 win in 2014.

Mizzou also defeated Florida 20-18 in the 1966 Sugar Bowl in the only meeting as nonconference opponents.
