After a much-needed bye week, Auburn is back on the horse and looking to turn around its season.
Heading on the road for the second time in what will be three straight games away from home, Auburn (2-4, 0-3 SEC) heads to No. 19 Missouri (5-1, 1-1 SEC) on Saturday afternoon in its first trip to Faurot Field since 2017.
