Mizzou, Idaho Announce 2017 Football Game
Vandals to Visit Columbia for First Time Since 1963
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri and University of Idaho football programs have agreed to a single game between the two schools on Oct. 21, 2017. The game will be played in Columbia, Mo., and be the final non-league game of the season, following earlier games that against Missouri State (Sept. 2), Purdue (Sept. 16) and a road game at UConn (Sept. 23).
Dates for Mizzou's SEC portion of the 2017 season have not been set, but the Tigers will have conference home games that season against Auburn, Florida, South Carolina and Tennessee, and will face road games at Arkansas, at Georgia, at Kentucky and at Vanderbilt.
"Our thanks to the Idaho administration and staff, we're very pleased to work together to get this game scheduled," said Executive Associate Athletic Director Bryan Maggard, who oversees scheduling for Mizzou Football. "We appreciate their efforts and are glad to be able to close out the schedule for the 2017 season," he said.
Mizzou and Idaho have played two times previously, with both games taking place in Columbia. Mizzou won both contests, claiming a 14-10 win in 1958 which marked the first-ever win at MU for legendary Head Coach Dan Devine. The Vandals would return to Columbia in 1963, where Devine's Tigers rolled to a 24-0 victory.
