After 28 days of zero Missouri football games, the Tigers will take the field in Tampa, FL to play Wake Forest in the Gasparilla Bowl. CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?
I took a look at Wake Forest’s football program here and looked at their bowl performances under Dave Clawson here. Wake recruits like a mid-tier G5 team but plays like a middle-to-upper tier P5 team, consistently scaring the hell out of its ACC brethren and bowl opponents. With three starters out, Mizzou’s vaunted defense will get a tough test from the 8th-best offense in the country while the Tiger’s lackluster offense will get a chance to look brilliant against one of the 20 worst defenses in the country.
