Auburn RB Jarquez Hunter against the Missouri run defense, which allowed the Aggies to run for 236 yards and five touchdowns in a 41-10 loss in College Station, Texas. Hunter has 528 yards rushing and is averaging 6.8 yards per carry.

The injury status of three key Missouri players is known ahead of the No. 16 Tigers’ date with Auburn on Saturday morning. Pete Thamel of ESPN reports that Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III is expected to play this Saturday after sustaining a shoulder injury during the 3rd quarter of last week’s game at UMass.

Missouri has to get back into the SEC winning groove, and Auburn needs to get its season going already. The AU version of the Tigers have lost three straight, have two more road games after this, and have to deal with Texas A&M.
