MEMPHIS, TENN. - Two Tiger squads will square off on the football field in 2015 and 2016 as the University of Memphis and the University of Missouri have reached an agreement for a home-and-home series this week.

The first game will be played in Memphis at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium and the 2016 contest will take place in Columbia. The current series record has Missouri ahead, 2-1. Memphis opened the series in 1991 with a 31-21 loss on the road, and won the second meeting, 19-16, during the 1996 campaign in Columbia. The last time the two squads played was a 27-17 Memphis loss at the Liberty Bowl in 1999.
