After falling to Georgia, Auburn finds itself 3-3 and winless in conference play with an offense that is struggling to get anything going when it matters the most. 

This is a narrative that the Tigers would like to change when they host No. 16 Missouri this week.

With this game viewed as a must-win, Auburn is heading into this contest with the same mindset as always.

"Same mentality as always," said quarterback Jackson Arnold. "Just go in and try to get a win. Our expectation is to go in and get a win, and that doesn't change week to week. We're going to keep fighting, keep being dogs, and keep grinding week in and week out."

Auburn will once again have its work cut out for it, as Missouri brings one of the nation's top defenses along with it.

Auburn needs to make the most of each and every opportunity it has to score, as leaving points off the board could put it in a difficult position to get the job done, resulting in its fourth-consecutive loss.

"Very talented group, and honestly, it's going to be one of the best defenses we've played this year," Arnold said. "That's saying something going against three top-12 teams back-to-back-to-back. Very talented group, fly around the ball, look very good on tape, very physical. So, it'll be a big game."

While the conference slate has not gone according to plan for Auburn so far this season, Arnold still believes tis group has potential.

Finding a way to come out on top could change the energy surrounding Auburn and spark a turnaround.

"I have a lot of faith in this team, and I think the world of this team, too," Arnold said. "We've got a bunch of ballplayers on this team that are hungry. They want to go out and make a name for themselves and make a name for this team, and show these coaches what they're made of, and make all the coaches proud."

Kickoff is set for 6:45 p.m. CT, and SEC Network will carry the broadcast.
