Iowa, Missouri Set for Music City Bowl

The 2024 TransPerfect Music City Bowl will feature the No. 19 Missouri Tigers (9-3) against the Iowa Hawkeyes (8-4) on December 30 at Nissan Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 2:30 PM ET. Both teams will be without key players; Missouri's receiver Luther Burden III and right tackle Armand Membou have opted out to prepare for the NFL Draft. Iowa's head coach, Kirk Ferentz, expressed excitement about the bowl experience and emphasized the significance of each game. This matchup is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first meeting between the teams since 2010, following a canceled game in 2020 due to COVID-19. The Music City Bowl has a rich history, dating back to 1998, and has evolved over the years to include various conferences, currently featuring SEC and Big Ten teams. Fans of both teams gathered at a pre-game event to celebrate and support their squads as they prepare for this pivotal match.
