Iowa to Face Missouri in Music City Bowl

The Iowa Hawkeyes (8-4) are set to face the No. 19 Missouri Tigers (9-3) in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl on December 30 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, marking Iowa's second appearance in this bowl in three years. This matchup serves as a rematch of a previously scheduled 2020 game that was canceled due to COVID-19. Missouri will be without star wide receiver Luther Burden III, who has declared for the NFL Draft, and starting right tackle Armand Membou has also opted out. Iowa won the last meeting against Missouri in 2010, leading the all-time series 6-7. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and kicks off at 1:30 PM CT, with Iowa looking to continue its strong postseason tradition, having won four of its last six bowl games. Both teams aim to conclude their seasons on a high note, with Iowa seeking a ranked victory to enhance its record.
