Bowl season continues Friday with the Independence Bowl and the Gasparilla Bowl.
Like the first game on Friday’s schedule, both teams have one good unit: Wake Forest has a great offense and a terrible defense, while Missouri has a strong defense but a middling offense. The Tigers went 6-6 this season, but four of their losses were by a touchdown or less and they led top-ranked Georgia in the fourth quarter Oct. 1 before wilting. The Demon Deacons started 6-1 but lost four of five to end the season, allowing 36.6 points per game over that span.
Wake Forest’s key losses were cornerback Gavin Holmes, who led the team with nine pass breakups, and running backs Christian Turner and Quinton Cooley, who combined for 10 of the Demon Deacons’ 16 rushing touchdowns. Missouri starting defensive ends Isaiah McGuire and DJ Coleman and starting safety Martez Manuel will skip the bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft, while wide receiver Dominic Lovett is in the transfer portal.Wake Forest -2.
