COLUMBIA — Missouri’s Nov. 1 game against Kentucky will kick off at 3 p.m. on SEC Network, the conference announced Monday.

The Tigers, 5-2 and 2-1 in the SEC, also will host SEC Nation on campus for the first time that morning.

The SEC Network’s conference-specific version of College GameDay will broadcast from MU’s Quad with the campus’ iconic columns serving as a backdrop.

Kickoff time for Missouri’s final home game, Nov. 28 versus Arkansas, has already been set for 1:30 p.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

That means the Tigers won’t play a home night game this season.
