The Missouri Tigers football program represents the University of Missouri (often referred to as Mizzou) in college football and competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

## History

[edit]

Missouri's football program dates back to 1890, and has appeared in 37 bowl games (including 11 New Year's Six bowl appearances: four Orange Bowls, four Cotton Bowls, two Sugar Bowls, and one Fiesta Bowl). Missouri has won 15 conference titles and 5 division titles. Entering the 2025 season, Missouri's all-time record is 721–593–52 (.547).[3]

Since 2012, Missouri has been a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).[4] Home games are played at Faurot Field ("The Zou") in Columbia, Missouri, named for hall of fame coach Don Faurot.[5]

Hall of famer Gary Pinkel, coach from 2001 to 2015, has the most wins in Missouri football history, setting that mark with his 102nd win in the AT&T Cotton Bowl on January 3, 2014.[6] Pinkel's record with Mizzou after his final game on November 27, 2015, is 118–73 (.618).[7]

Barry Odom took over as head coach for the 2016 season, following Pinkel's retirement. Odom would be fired following the 2019 season after going 25–25 overall and 13–19 in the SEC over 4 seasons at the helm.[8]

Since the 2020 football season, the team has been coached by Eliah Drinkwitz. Drinkwitz has returned the Mizzou football program to prominence, with back to back 10+ win seasons and Top 25 finishes in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.[9]

## Rivalries

[edit]

### Currently active

[edit]

#### Arkansas

[edit]

Main article: Battle Line Rivalry

Missouri and Arkansas first met in 1906 in Columbia, Missouri, and played each other five times prior to Missouri joining the SEC in 2012, and then becoming Arkansas' permanent cross-division rival in 2014. The annual meeting was dubbed the Battle Line Rivalry. On November 23, 2015, a new rivalry trophy was unveiled for the annual game.[23] Missouri leads the series 12–4 as of the conclusion of the 2024 season, which saw the Tigers beat Arkansas 28–21 in Columbia.[24]

#### Oklahoma

[edit]

Main article: Missouri–Oklahoma football rivalry

Oklahoma leads the series 67-25–5 through the 2024 season.[25] From 1940 through 1974, the teams played for the Tiger-Sooner Peace Pipe trophy. The rivalry was renewed in 2024, as the teams are members of the same conference again. Missouri won the 2024 matchup 30-23. [26]

#### South Carolina

[edit]

A new rivalry was started in 2012 when Missouri joined the SEC East. With both schools located in cities named Columbia (Columbia, Missouri, and Columbia, South Carolina), the mayors of the cities commemorate the winner with the "Mayor's Cup" trophy for the annual game.[27][28] Missouri leads the series 9–6 as of the conclusion of the 2024 edition of the rivalry.[29][30]

### Historic

[edit]

#### Illinois

[edit]

Main article: Illinois–Missouri football rivalry

The rivalry between Missouri and Illinois is modeled after the two schools' longstanding basketball rivalry, and it garners the most interest around St. Louis, with both schools having alumni and fans in the area. It has not been played annually, with 24 matchups occurring from 1896 to 2010, with Missouri leading the series 17–7.[31] Between 2000 and 2010, the schools met in St. Louis six times, with Missouri winning each time. In 2026, the series will be renewed for a four-year period, to be played on campus sites.[32]

#### Iowa State

[edit]

Main article: Iowa State–Missouri football rivalry

Missouri and Iowa State first met in 1896 and the regional rivalry was born. Before the 1959 match-up between the two schools, which took place in Ames, Iowa, field testing showed that the telephones the two schools used to communicate with their coaches in the coaches' box were wired so that either school could hear what was happening on the other sideline. The problem was fixed before the game, but neither of the two coaches knew that. Northwestern Bell Telephone Company of Ames then decided to have a trophy made to commemorate the incident, thus the Telephone Trophy was born.[33][34] When Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC, the rivalry was essentially ended. Missouri leads the series with Iowa State 61–34–9 through the 2022 season.[35]

#### Kansas

[edit]

Main article: Border War (Kansas–Missouri rivalry)

Missouri leads the series with Kansas 57–54–9 through the 2021 season.[36] With history dating back to Bleeding Kansas in the 1850s, the "Border War" rivalry was well known as one of the longest-lasting and fiercest rivalries in college sports. The teams met annually, traditionally for the final game of the regular season, from 1891 through 2011 when Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC.[37] The series is set to renew in 2025.[38]

#### Nebraska

[edit]

Main article: Missouri–Nebraska football rivalry

Nebraska leads the series 65–36–3 through the 2022 season.[39] From 1892 through 2010, the teams played for the Victory Bell trophy.

## Mascot

[edit]

Truman the Tiger was introduced as the school's mascot against the Utah State Aggies in 1986, receiving his name from former president Harry S Truman. Truman has been named the "Nation's Best Mascot" three times since 1986, most recently in 2014.[44]

## Homecoming

[edit]

See 1911 Kansas vs. Missouri football game

The NCAA[45] as well as Jeopardy! and Trivial Pursuit[46] recognize the University of Missouri as the birthplace of Homecoming, an event which became a national tradition in college football. The history of the University of Missouri Homecoming can be traced back to the 1911 Kansas vs. Missouri football game, when the Missouri Tigers faced off against the Kansas Jayhawks in the first installment of the Border War rivalry series.[47]

## Future opponents

[edit]

### Conference opponents

[edit]

From 2012 to 2023, Missouri played in the East Division of the SEC and played each opponent in the division each year along with several teams from the West Division. The SEC will expand the conference to 16 teams and will eliminate its two divisions in 2024, causing a new scheduling format for the Tigers to play against the other members of the conference.[48] On March 20, 2024, the SEC announced that they would continue with 8 conference games for the 2025 season, and that each team would play their same conference opponents from the 2024 schedule, only with the host locations switched.[49]
