Missouri vs Wake Forest Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, What’s Going To Happen

The Missouri personnel losses are far bigger than Wake Forest’s. That doesn’t mean the Tiger running game can’t and won’t work, and the defense is still going to be good, but there’s just enough missing to matter.

No, the Demon Deacons don’t do enough defensively, but they can get into the backfield from time to time and be disruptive. The Missouri offensive line is okay for the ground game, but it struggles at keeping defensive fronts from generating tackles for loss.

Missouri’s offense will work, because everyone’s offense works against Wake Forest. It still won’t be enough to keep up in key moments.

Wake Forest’s offense will connect when it has to with a few deep shots to open it up a wee bit in the second half of a good, tight battle.
