Alabama vs Missouri football live updates: Score, highlights for SEC Week 7 game

Alabama football will look to pick up its third consecutive top-25-ranked win of the season as it heads back on the road in Week 7.

The task, though, won't be an easy one given that its opponent, Missouri, is one of 11 remaining undefeated teams among Power 4 conference programs.

The eighth-ranked Crimson Tide travel to No. 14 Missouri on Saturday, Oct. 11 for a noon ET kickoff at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Missouri.

Saturday's game is an important game for both Alabama and Missouri in terms of their paths to the SEC championship game and the College Football Playoff, and the ninth all-time meeting between the two programs. The Crimson Tide lead the all-time series 6-2 and are on a six-game winning streak, which includes last year's 34-0 shutout win in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama, fresh off a win over Vanderbilt last week, is in the gauntlet of its schedule, as Missouri is the third straight top-20 ranked opponent for Kalen DeBoer's squad and one of six top-25 ranked opponents that the Crimson Tide will face from Sept. 27 through Nov. 15.

Missouri has found some early success with Beau Pribula at quarterback through its first five games of the season, and looks to be a legitimate contender for a spot in the CFP. Another reason behind the Tigers' 5-0 start, their second in the last three years, is running back Ahmad Hardy, who leads the country in rushing yards at 730 and is one rushing touchdown away from leading that statistical category.
