It'll be MU's second Cotton Bowl appearance in less than a decade, as the program played in the Dallas-based bowl at the end of the 2013 season.

The Tigers have never missed out on a bowl game under coach Drinkwitz. This will be the program’s fourth-straight appearance. However, it is also the best bowl game MU has gotten since 2014, which is also the last time the program reached 10 wins. 

The Cotton Bowl will be the cap to the best season that Drinkwitz has had in his time in Columbia. He and his team finished the regular season 10-2 overall and 6-2 in SEC play. MU’s only two losses came against Top-15 teams in Georgia and LSU. The Tigers were within 10 points in each of those two losses.
