Mizzou plays Iowa in the Music City Bowl

Looking for their second straight bowl win, the Missouri Tigers will face the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Music City Bowl.

A win would give the Tigers their eighth 10-win season in franchise history. It would also be the first time since the 2013 and 2014 seasons that Missouri earned bowl victories in back-to-back seasons.

Missouri has been eligible to play in all five seasons since head coach Eli Drinkwitz took over. However, Missouri was forced to forgo its bowl game in 2020 because the team was dealing with too many COVID-19 cases. Ironically, that game was supposed to be the Music City Bowl against Iowa.

Drinkwitz is 1-2 in bowl games as a head coach, winning his first against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl last December. He’s going up against head coach Kirk Ferentz, who has played in 20 bowl games and won 10.

“Coach (Kirk) Ferentz, I have a lot of respect for him and what he has done with the Hawkeye program,” Drinkwitz said in a press conference. “Role model for stability and development. He does an excellent job of player identification and development.”

Last time, Missouri: The Tigers capped the regular season in fitting fashion, securing a victory over Arkansas in a game that went down to the wire.

Cook connected with wide receiver Luther Burden III on the two-point conversion, the final completion between the duo as Missouri Tigers.

Last time, Iowa: After the Hawkeyes entered the fourth quarter trailing Nebraska 10-3, a touchdown from running back Kaleb Johnson and a 53-yard field goal from Drew Stevens as time expired gave them a 13-10 victory. Iowa’s offense gained just 164 yards in the win.
