Missouri will be without seven players when they host LSU Saturday morning after one player tested positive for COVID-19, Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz said on his weekly radio show.

Missouri is set to host LSU Saturday at 11 a.m. for a matchup that was relocated from Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge due to Hurricane Delta makin its way toward the Gulf Coast.

The Game was originally set to kick off at 8 p.m. but the teams will instead play earlier so that LSU will be able to return to Baton Rouge safely.

“I’m just so glad and thankful that we were able to move the game up to 11 o’clock so that those guys can get home safely — so that there going to be able to get back and land hopefully during daylight so that if there was no electricity, that they would be safe,” Drinkwitz said earlier this week.
