In the afternoon time slots Stephen Hall (DB) and the #22 Missouri Tigers will look to play spoiler to the #3 Texas A&M Aggies at 2:30 pm on ABC.
Several head-to-head match-up will pit former Rangers against each other starting with Derick Harden (TE/OL) and Alabama State taking on Thurman Rayborn (DL) and Texas Southern at 2:00 PM.
