Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between the two teams

Wake Forest Form

Wake Forest’s form tailed off over the final few weeks of the regular season as they lost four of their final five games to finish 7-5.

The Demon Deacons opened with three non-conference wins, but dropped their ACC opener when they lost a thrilling game against #5 Clemson, 51-45.

They bounced back a week later to beat #23 Florida State 31-21, and backed that up with a 45-10 blowout of Army and a 43-15 victory against Boston College.

Wake Forest’s form dipped from there though, as they started a three-game skid with a 48-21 loss at Louisville.

They were then beaten 30-21 at #21 NC State and 36-34 at home to North Carolina, before finally snapping their slide with a 45-35 home win against Syracuse.

The Demon Deacons failed to back it up though, losing 34-31 at Duke in their regular season finale.

Missouri Form

Missouri won four of their final six games to sneak into a bowl game courtesy of a 6-6 record.

The Tigers opened with a 52-24 win at home to Louisiana Tech, but then went on to lose four of their next five games.

They did run a couple of big schools close in those losses though, falling to a 26-22 defeat to #1 Georgia before losing 24-17 at Florida.

Missouri needed wins though, and they rescued themselves in the second half of the season.

A 17-14 win against Vanderbilt was followed by a 23-10 upset of #25 South Carolina, and although they lost their next two games they were able to end on a positive note.

The Tigers responded to a 66-24 hammering at the hands of #5 Tennessee with a 45-14 win against New Mexico State and a 29-27 victory over Arkansas.
