Missouri Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Tigers miss from the SEC slate?

Having to play LSU this season isn’t going to be easy, but at least that’s in Columbia. The annual date against Arkansas is always manageable, but that’s on the road to end the regular season.

That means the Tigers don’t have to deal with Alabama. That’s obviously always good, and not having to play Texas A&M this season might be a huge positive, too. They also miss Auburn, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State.

Missouri Football Schedule What Really Matters

Can Mizzou beat Kansas State? It wasn’t pretty last year, but at least this time around the Wildcats have to make the trip over to Faurot. Win that, and it’s going to be a huge start to the season.

South Dakota, Middle Tennessee, Memphis, and on the road against Vanderbilt – that has to be a 4-0 stretch to go along with whatever happens against Kansas State. 5-0 is very, very possible, but …

Missouri Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

Can Missouri build itself up over the first half of the season to go on a roll when the SEC slate kicks in full force?

Yeah, it’s a relatively easy first half, but that means there’s no break the rest of the way. Tennessee and Florida are home games, and there’s a week off before going to Georgia, but there’s an off chance the team isn’t favored over the final seven games of the season.

In other words, again, a big start is a must. Do that, and then own home field and all will be fine. That’s going to be far easier said than done.

Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl What Happened

– Wake Forest took the ball first and drove 85 yards culminating in a Sam Hartman touchdown pass to Taylor Morin for a 7-0 lead. Down 14-3, Missouri fought back to go up 17-14 late in the third quarter, but the Demon Deacons scored 13 unanswered points to close.

– Mizzou closed out two long drives with two short touchdown runs, but Wake Forest roared back after going down in the third. Hartman connected with Jahmal Banks for a 48-yard score that held up the rest of the way.

Missouri had several chances late, but it kept shooting itself in the foot with stalled drives. Wake Forest was finally able to put it away with a 75-yard drive closed by Morin’s second touchdown grab.

– Yards Per Throw: Wake Forest 7.8 – Missouri 4.5

Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl What It All Means

Wake Forest already had a winning season locked up before this, but the win makes it two straight bowl wins and a 5-2 bowl record over the last seven years under head coach Dave Clawson. The program has six winning seasons in the last seven years with the lone outlier in 2020.

Missouri might have been missing a few players, and it’s just a bowl game, but the loss still makes it a second straight losing season and the fourth year in a row without a winning campaign. Now Mizzou has just two winning seasons in the last eight years since 2014. That’s also the last time it came up with a bowl win – it lost four straight.

Missouri vs Wake Forest Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl 5 Things To Know

Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl Prediction, What’s Going To Happen, History

– Missouri needed a win over Arkansas in the regular season finale just to get here, and now it needs a victory to finish with a winning campaign. It’s missing some big players on defense – more on this later – and the offense has to be consistent, but the team is great at controlling the clock and the defense should still be okay.

Wake Forest is fun. It might have collapsed over the finishing kick going 1-4 in the final five games, but the offense is going to throw for over 300 yards, the defense will give up a ton of big plays, and it all mixes together for what should be a high-energy bowl. Mizzou will have to keep up the pace.

A good bowl team under head coach Dave Clawson, Wake Forest is 4-2 in the post-season in its last six, coming off a 38-10 blasting of Rutgers in last season’s Gator. The program is 10-6 all-time in bowls with 13 of them played after 2000. It’s still a big deal for Wake Forest to go bowling.

Missouri is a bit more used to the bowl life – this is the 34th for the program, going 15-19 starting with a loss to USC in the 1924 Los Angeles Christmas Festival. However, it lost its last three including both of the chances under head coach Eliah Drinkwitz. The Tigers don’t have a bowl win since beating Minnesota in the 2014 Citrus – the loss to Army in last year’s Armed Forces Bowl hurt.

– This is the first time the Gasparilla Bowl has featured two Power Five teams – now it needs a little luck to finally come up with a good game. Last year’s UCF 29-17 win over Florida was entertaining for a whole slew of reasons, but it was the fourth straight game and ninth in the 13 decided by double-digits.

CFN Experts Dec 20-27 | CFP NY6, Dec 28-Jan 2

Why Missouri Will Win The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl

The Wake Forest defense is a tad wobbly. It allowed well over 1,500 yards in its final three games of the season, it’s not doing much against anyone who wants to throw, and it gave up 30 points or more in its last five games.

Not helping the cause is the loss of corners Gavin Holmes and JJ Roberts to the transfer portal. Missouri doesn’t have a high-powered passing game, and losing top target Dominic Lovett to the portal hurts, but it’s 5-0 when throwing for more than 220 yards.

The Wake Forest pass defense doesn’t get out of bed in the morning without giving up 220 yards through the air.

When it does allow fewer, it’s usually because the offense on the other side is too busy running. Mizzou has to balance out the attack, do what it does to control the clock, and the defense that’s so good on third downs and so good at getting into the backfield has to be fired up from the start.

However …

Why Wake Forest Will Win The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl

It’s all hands on deck against the Wake Forest passing game.

The Missouri defense that was so great this season will be without a few key pass rushers – Isaiah McGuire opting out really hurts – and will miss a little depth in the secondary.

The wins might not have been there over the second half of the season, but the Demon Deacons, but QB Sam Hartman kept bombing away with the offense hitting 300 yards through the air in each of the last six games and in nine of 11.

Missouri’s offense is balanced and can grind a bit, but it’s not built to get into wild shootouts. It takes 30 points to beat Wake Forest – it’s 5-0 when allowing fewer and 2-5 when giving up more – but the Tigers have only hit that mark against Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, and Abilene Christian.

Why Arkansas Will Win

Can the Arkansas offense do that again?

Just when it seemed like the team was in big, big trouble when it came to bowl eligibility, it got past the two-game losing streak with an emphatic win over Ole Miss with 335 rushing yards and KJ Jefferson hitting 77% of his passes.

Just do that again, and the already bowl eligible team will bump up its bowl slot.

Missouri’s defense might be fine, but there’s a turnover margin problem – no takeaways in the last two games – the defense gave up over 700 yards to Tennessee, and the offense has been more okay than sensational.

Can the defense hold up against everything Jefferson does? He completed 79% of his passes for 262 yards with a slew of deep shots against Mizzou – to go along with 58 rushing yards – in a 34-17 win last year.

Bowl Projections | Bowl Bubble: Who’s Bowl Eligible?

Why Missouri Will Win

Arkansas got its big win last week at home on Senior Day to get bowl eligible. Now it’s Missouri’s turn.

It might be just 5-6 with the only decent win coming against South Carolina, but the defense hasn’t been bad against the better teams – throwing the Tennessee game aside – and the offense hasn’t been too bad at keeping things moving.

This has to be about the D, though. The line is good at getting into the backfield, there should be enough pressure on Jefferson to matter, and …

Week 13 College Football Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Can Missouri play above its head?

Four of its five wins were against air – with some due respect to Vanderbilt – and the other against South Carolina was good, but not amazing. However, Arkansas has been hit-or-miss.

A healthy Jefferson makes all the difference, and the running game that rolled against Ole Miss – Raheim Sanders ran for 232 yards and three scores – will have another strong performance.

Missouri is 0-4 when allowing more than 144 yards. Arkansas has rushed for 144 yards or more against everyone but LSU.

Why New Mexico State Will Win

Break up the Aggies.

All of a sudden, Jerry Kill’s team is playing well with a three game winning streak and with wins in four of the last five games.

No, the running game isn’t rolling like a Jerry Kill offense should, but there aren’t any turnovers – just one in the last four games – the defense hasn’t allowed more than 270 yards in any of the last three games, and it could be dangerous if Missouri isn’t taking this seriously.

This is the exhale game for the Tigers. They’re coming off a rough blowout loss to Tennessee, and they’re looking ahead to the Arkansas game to try getting bowl eligible, but …

Bowl Projections

Why Missouri Will Win

New Mexico, UMass, Lamar.

A win is a win is a win, but Missouri is just a wee bit stronger than the teams New Mexico State has been able to hang with.

It might not have seemed like it after allowing 724 yards of Tennessee offense, but the Mizzou D really is terrific. It allowed fewer than 300 yards in four straight SEC games before dealing with the Vols.

The front should live in the New Mexico State backfield, the run D will be a brick wall, and the O won’t turn the ball over enough – possibly not at all – to give New Mexico State any easy breaks.

Schedules, Predictions CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

The Tigers will be a bit slow out of the gate, but a big second quarter will take over and the defense will deal with the rest.

The Aggies will come up with a few good drives, but a slew of penalties will stall too many good chances and there won’t be enough long marches to keep the Tiger offense off the field.

Tennessee vs Missouri Game Preview

Why Missouri Will Win

The defense has been the real deal.

The Missouri offense hasn’t always been consistent – the running game has to do more – but the other side has been stuffing everything on the ground and allowed over 300 yards of total O just once in the last six games. That one time? The battle in a 26-22 loss to the Georgia team that just took down the Vols.

For all of the high-powered fun from the Tennessee attack, it’s a whole other animal when it can run a bit. The team runs so many plays that getting to 40 carries is the norm, so it’s more about yards per carry than total yards.

The Tiger defensive front leads the SEC in tackles for loss, it’s holding up well against the run, and it all works with an offense that hangs on to the ball for 34 minutes a game.

Hendon Hooker can’t put points on the board from the sidelines.

Bowl Bubble: Every Team’s Bowl Situation

Why Tennessee Will Win

Missouri doesn’t have the firepower.

The passing game is fine. It’ll hit 200 yards, the offense should be just balanced enough to keep things moving a little bit, and again, the time of possession battle should be dominated by the road side.
