How to Watch: Mizzou Plays Iowa in the Music City Bowl
Looking for their second-straight bowl win, the Missouri Tigers will face off against 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 Missouri earns bowl wins in back-to-back seasons since the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
Missouri has been bowl-elligibile in all five seasons since head coach Eli Drinkwitz took over. Missouri had to opt out of its bowl game in 2020 though due to the team dealing with too many COVID 19 cases. Ironically, that game was supposed to be the Music City Bowl against Iowa.
Drinkwitz so far is 1-2 in bowl games as a head coach, winning his first last December in the Cotton Bowl over Ohio State. He faces off against head coach Kirk Ferentz, who has made 20 bowl games, winning 10.
"Coach [Kirk] Ferentz, have a tremendous amount of respect for him and what he's done with the Hawkeye program," Drinkwitz said in a press confernece. "Model of consistency and development. Does an excellent job with player identification and development."
