Alabama vs. Missouri: Live updates, injury report, score and more from Bryant-Denny Stadium

Alabama football is looking for a win over Missouri after the Crimson Tide's second loss of the season under new coach Kalen DeBoer.

No. 15 Alabama finds itself in a playoff-like scenario. It can't afford another loss if it wants to reach the top 12 of the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide has lost to No. 25 Vanderbilt and No. 7 Tennessee so far this season.

It now faces a No. 21 Missouri team that has lost just once this season: on the road to Texas A&M.

The matchup between the Crimson Tide and Tigers also marks the first homecoming game for DeBoer, who succeeded Nick Saban this season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. CT at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game can be watched on ABC.

First quarter

– Missouri starts on offense. Jihaad Campbell gets a second-down sack to set up third-and-18. Then the third descent is shorter than the first descent. So the Tigers start with a three-pointer.

– 12:53 Alabama takes over on its own 21-yard line. It looked like the Crimson Tide would have to go for a third-and-short immediately, but a post-play facemask gave the Crimson Tide a 15-yard gain and a new set of downs.

– On the next first down, Cole Adams is injured and has to go to the injured tent. On the next play, Kendrick Law runs around left end for a 21-yard first down.

— Third-and-5 from the Missouri 25-yard line, Alabama makes a throwing play for a loss. The Crimson Tide will attempt a field goal. Graham Nicholson converts the 47-yard field goal attempt for a giveaway Alabama leads Missouri 3-0 with 8:50 left in the first quarter.

— 8:50: Missouri starts at its own 25-yard line. Third-and-5 at the Missouri 30, the pass is incomplete. Second threesome in a row.

– 7:29: Alabama will take over on its own 26-yard line. Third-and-9 at the Alabama 27-yard line: Kobe Prentice fails to complete the catch down the sideline. Tide has to sting.

— 6:45: Missouri starts at its own 19-yard line. On a third-and-7, Missouri is called for a delay of game. Alabama receives a personal foul after the game. As a result, Missouri gets a first down. LT Overton sacked Brady Cook, but it looked like Overton thought the game was still going.
