COLUMBIA, Mo. — Like everything this fall, the COVID-19 edition of college football’s bowl season will be unique. But Missouri is bound to make the most of the unconventional experience.
After wrapping up the regular season with Saturday’s loss at Mississippi State, the Tigers chose to play in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee, where they’ll face Iowa on Dec. 30. The Tigers (5-5) and Hawkeyes (6-2) will play in front of a limited crowd at Nissan Stadium in a 3 p.m. kickoff on ESPN.
Mizzou also considered the Outback and Gator bowls, both Jan. 2 games in Florida, but favored the Music City so that more players’ families could attend the game.
