Host Tigers in 2022
MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee has agreed on a three-game football contract with Missouri that will begin in 2016 as announced today by Director of Athletics Chris Massaro.
"We are excited about this series because it gives our fans a chance to see Middle Tennessee compete against a quality non-league opponent from a Power 5 conference," said Massaro. "We have been fortunate to attract several quality teams to our campus, and Missouri is certainly another one of those."
The Blue Raiders will travel to Columbia next season to face the Tigers on Oct. 22 before hosting the two-time SEC East Division champs at Floyd Stadium on Sept. 17, 2022. Middle Tennessee will make another trip to Columbia on Sept. 9, 2023.
The Tigers will be the third different SEC team to play in Floyd Stadium. The Blue Raiders hosted Mississippi State in 2009 and will host Vanderbilt this season and again in 2017.
MT also has a home game with Duke in 2019.
The Blue Raiders and Tigers have met just once in football. On Sept. 20, 2003, the No. 23 Tigers slipped past visiting Middle Tennessee, 41-40, in overtime.
Since Head Coach Rick Stockstill arrived in 2006, the Blue Raiders have played host to Louisville, Virginia, Maryland, Mississippi State, Minnesota, Georgia Tech and BYU.
