ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com)-  The Knights return to the field after a bye week and welcome the first SEC team to play at Bright House Networks Stadium when the Missouri Tigers visit with a noon kickoff.

The Tigers fell to South Carolina this past Saturday 31-10. Ironically, South Carolina is scheduled to play at UCF next season. The Tigers have averaged more than nine wins a season over the last five years, of those being in the Big XII Conference.

 Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel is in his 12^th season and before arriving to Columbia to guide the Tigers, he was head coach at Toledo for a decade. He had left for Missouri before UCF arrived to play in the MAC.

The game will mark the fifth straight and second straight on the road. The Tigers play seven consecutive games before their bye week. After UCF, Mizzou faces Vanderbilt and Alabama at home.

A fact to know: Coming into the 2012 season, Missouri has played more overtime games at the Football Bowl Subdivision level than anyone else. The Tigers have played in 14 overtime games.

UCF will be looking for its second all-time win at Bright House Networks Stadium against a current member of a BCS league. The Knights routed Boston College last season 30-3.

Radio coverage, on the UCF/IMG Radio Network, will begin at 10am in Orlando on Saturday. The kickoff is set for noon.
