The Friday night bowl game slate features the first New Year’s Six showdown of the postseason as No. 7 Ohio State meets No. 9 Missouri in the Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Buckeyes have dominated the all-time series 10-1-1 — with the last meeting taking place in 1998. This time, however, they’re facing a Missouri team coming off its best regular season since 2014. The Tigers should be plenty motivated for its their first-ever appearance in a New Year’s Six game.
Though the Buckeyes missed out on a spot in the College Football Playoff by virtue of their loss to rival Michigan in the regular-season finale, their appearance in the Cotton Bowl still marks a historic achievement. Ohio State is the only program to appear in a New Year’s Six bowl in all 10 seasons during of the four-team College Football Playoff era.
But Ohio State will be dealing with significant changes to its offense after starting quarterback Kyle McCord transferred to Syracuse following the end of the regular season. Heisman finalist receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.’s will not be available as the junior weighs heavy interest from the NFL. The Buckeyes’ second-leading rusher, Chip Trayanum, also hit the portal and is headed to Kentucky.
Nonetheless, Ohio State still enters with ample talent, even if some of it is unproven.
Follow along on Friday with LIVE UPDATES as Ohio State battles with Missouri in the 2023 Cotton Bowl.
