The Missouri Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks are 5-5 all time in games against one another, but it was Missouri who had the opportunity to win a second consecutive Mayor’s Cup in Saturday night’s matchup.
It was a game defined almost as much by who didn’t make the trip as who did. Mike Bobo was named interim head coach this week after South Carolina parted ways with Will Muschamp. Missouri’s Defensive Coordinator Ryan Walters was unable to make the trip from Columbia to Columbia due to contact tracing, and David Gibbs was named the defensive coordinator before kickoff.
