The Missouri Tigers and Virginia Cavaliers are both chasing history as they meet tonight at EverBank Stadium for the Gator Bowl. Missouri, ranked No. 25 and entering at 8-4, looks to secure a third straight nine-win season — a feat never before accomplished in program history. No. 20 Virginia (10-3) aims to reach 11 wins for the first time, setting up a high-stakes matchup with postseason bragging rights on the line. Oddsmakers list Missouri as a 4.5-point favorite, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, despite the Tigers taking the field without starting quarterback Beau Pribula, who announced last week he will enter the transfer portal. Freshman Matt Zollers is expected to lead the Tigers’ offense in his absence. Missouri also enters the game adjusting on the sidelines. Offensive coordinator Kirby Moore departed to become the head coach at Washington State, prompting head coach Eli Drinkwitz to turn to a collaborative approach for play-calling duties. Drinkwitz said Moore “can’t serve two masters” and has fully shifted to his new role. Newly hired coordinator Chip Lindsey will not coach tonight, instead observing as preparations continue for next season. Kickoff is set for tonight in Jacksonville as both programs look to close their seasons with a statement win and a place in their respective record books.
