First SEC game postponed due to COVID-19

This is the first conference game to be postponed due to COVID-19 this season.

Those waiting for that big matchup between Missouri and Vanderbilt this weekend will have to wait a little longer.

On Monday, it was announced that the meeting between the Tigers and Commodores in Columbia has been postponed due to both teams having a large number of players quarantined due to COVID-19 and contact tracing.

Per The Tennesseean:

Vanderbilt had only 56 scholarship players for its 41-7 loss to South Carolina. Missouri had 61 scholarship players available for its 45-41 win over LSU.

The SEC requires a team to have at least 53 scholarship players available this season to avoid a cancellation, rescheduling or no-contest declaration of a game.

This is the first SEC game to be postponed due to the virus.
