The way Blaine Gabbert’s Missouri career ended did nothing to enhance or decrease his legacy as a Tiger quarterback. If anything, it crystallized the complicated relationship for all time.
On December 28, 2010, Missouri took on Iowa in Tempe's Insight Bowl, and against a stellar pass defense that included Micah Hyde and Tyler Sash, Gabbert went off. The junior from Ballwin completed 41 of 57 passes for 434 yards and led a brilliant charge back from an early deficit.
Mizzou trailed the underdog Hawkeyes 17-3 midway through the second quarter but finally began to get on track.
