ATLANTA - The Missouri Tigers take the podium on the final day of SEC Media Days, leaving Eli Drinkwitz's squad on the back burner on Tuesday.

There was a unique intersection, however, with Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold as the Missouri Tigers knocked off Arnold last season in a matchup between Oklahoma and Missouri. Arnold discussed a dominant Tigers defensive line and expressed excitement to face the Tigers again in 2025, this time as the starting quarterback at Auburn.

The Auburn Tigers also lost to Missouri in 2024 and emphasized the need to be better in close games to take a step forward in the SEC standings. The Tigers head to Auburn on Saturday, Oct. 18.
