Saturday afternoon’s 2:30 game at Faurot Field in Columbia is a sellout. It’s the first time the two schools have played in football since 2011 and the first in Columbia since 2006.

The SEC Network says “SEC Nation” will be live Saturday morning from 9-11 on the Carnahan Quad with host Laura Rutledge joined by Paul Finebaum, Roman Harper, Jordan Rodgers and Tim Tebow. The “Paul Finebaum show” with Mr. Finebaum will also be on the Carnahan Quad Friday afternoon live from 2-6.

Traffic is expected to be heavy across Columbia on Saturday afternoon and evening. There will also be a number of Kansas Jayhawk football fans in town for the game.
