Missouri knows when it will kick off against Vanderbilt on Oct. 22 at Faurot Field.

The Homecoming contest will start at 3 p.m., and be televised by the SEC Network. The Tigers (2-4, 0-3 SEC) do not play this weekend. They’re coming off a 24-17 loss at Florida and have dropped their three SEC contests this season by a total of just 14 points.

Vanderbilt (3-3, 0-2) visits top-ranked Georgia Saturday.

The Tigers need four victories in their final six games to become bowl-eligible for the third time in coach Eli Drinkwitz’s three years in Columbia.

Here’s their remaining schedule:

Oct. 22 Vanderbilt, 3 p.m., SEC Network

Oct. 29 at South Carolina

Nov. 5 Kentucky

Nov. 12 at Tennessee

Nov. 19 New Mexico State

Nov. 25 Arkansas, 2:30 p.m., CBS
