LIVE UPDATES: Ohio State vs. Missouri Tigers in 2023 Cotton Bowl.

UPDATE: What will happened between Ohio State vs. Missouri Tigers….

The Ohio State Buckeyes and Missouri Tigers conclude their seasons tonight at the 2023 Goodyear Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. Both the No. 7 Buckeyes and No. 9 Tigers have had almost an entire month to prepare for this game, having played their regular-season finales back in late November. Ohio State has spent that time both preparing for Missouri and dealing with a variety of personnel changes. Several notable Buckeyes starters entered the transfer portal since the November 26 game against Michigan (including quarterback Kyle McCord, running back Chip Trayanum and receiver Julian Fleming), while others like running back Miyan Williams declared for the 2024 NFL Draft. To fill these voids, Ohio State will be relying on its pipeline of underclassmen, including sophomore quarterback Devin Brown and receivers Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss. The future of Buckeyes football will be on display on Friday against the Tigers. Meanwhile, Missouri has been dreaming about ending their phenomenal season on the right note. The Tigers enter the Cotton Bowl with a 10-2 record, which is not only their first winning season since 2018, but their first year with ten or more wins in almost a decade. Eli Drinkwitz is 0-2 in bowl games as Missouri’s head coach, having fallen in each of the last two years to the Army Black Knights in the 2021 Armed Forces Bowl and against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at the 2022 Gasparilla Bowl.
