COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Tigers can now plan on two trips to Florida during their inaugural football season in the Southeastern Conference.
Missouri will meet Central Florida in a Sept. 29 nonconference road game. The Orlando school released its fall football schedule on Thursday.
The Tigers' first SEC schedule includes a Nov. 3 game against Florida in Gainesville. Florida is now prime recruiting territory for Missouri coach Gary Pinkel as his team leaves the Big 12 Conference.
Missouri must still schedule two more nonconference games as it prepares for the new athletics affiliation.
