CBS invoked its six-day hold option for the Oct. 11 games last week, delaying the announcement of game times and the broadcast schedules for next weekend’s SEC football slate.

Missouri, 4-1 and 1-0 in the SEC, learned Sunday afternoon that its Gold Rush game next Saturday against Georgia will kick off at 11 a.m. on CBS.

Parking lots will open at 6 a.m. with the Tiger Walk scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Fans are encouraged to wear gold.

Missouri also announced that approximately 100 tickets remained available as of Sunday afternoon. To purchase tickets, fans should visit MUTigers.com, call 1-800-CAT-PAWS or drop by the Mizzou Arena ticket office.

The Tigers, which moved up one spot to No. 23 in the latest Associated Press top 25, are the only SEC East division team without a loss in conference play.

The 13th-ranked Bulldogs, 4-1, are tied for second in the division with Florida and Kentucky. All three teams are 2-1 in SEC play.
