Everything to know about the Music City Bowl between Mizzou, Iowa

On By Littum

NASHVILLE — Nissan Stadium is the scene of the only College Football game played on Monday, hosting the Music City Bowl between the Missouri Tigers, the No. 19, against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

It is the second match between the teams in the last century. The last time Missouri won against Iowa, William Taft was the president of the United States and it was the first season of the Intercollegiate Athletics Association being transformed into the NCAA – the year was 1910 and the Tigers won a 5-0 game.

It is the first appearance for Missouri in the Music City Bowl and the second for Iowa, which had won 21-0 over Kentucky in 2022.

Missouri will be hoping for its second bowl win of the Eli Drinkwitz era. That would put Drinkwitz’s winning average at .500 in bowl games during his time at Missouri.

Below are all the details on the game, including streaming information, opt-outs and injuries.
