Much of the fabric that wove this season’s edition of Mizzou football contained resilience, and it certainly traveled to Nashville.
The Tigers found themselves either trailing or tied for the most of Monday’s Music City Bowl against Iowa. But Iowa’s successes were almost always followed by Mizzou answering right back with success of its own. The biggest Hawkeye lead of the game (10) was swiftly vanquished by a Josh Manning touchdown late in the third quarter.
Sure enough, Mizzou pulled a win out of defeat’s jaws, as the sound of Music City was one of sweet victory for Eli Drinkwitz’s crew.
