On Dec. 29, Ohio State and Missouri will meet in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. Four weeks ahead of the New Year's Six competition, the head coaches of those teams, Ryan Day and Eliah Drinkwitz, participated in a Zoom teleconference to preview the matchup between the No. 7-ranked Buckeyes and No. 9-ranked Tigers.
Amid their calls, Day revealed that Ohio State is “expecting everyone to play” in the Cotton Bowl as the Buckeyes look to finish the season strong, while Drinkwitz discussed his respect for Day and the Ohio State football program, which he called a “blue blood” of college football.
