the Liberty Bowl winner and the other bowls . . .
AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL (33)
Where: Memphis, Tennessee
When: Dec. 31, 3:45 p.m. ET
Who: Missouri vs. Oklahoma State
Line: Missouri by 7½
Why watch: To see Drew Lock close his Mizzou tenure by making a run at 12,000 career passing yards. And to see what sort of mood Mike Gundy is in.
Dash pick:
Missouri 49, Oklahoma State 38. The Tigers have closed the season with a rush, winning four straight by a combined margin of 97 points. The Cowboys have a minus-8 turnover margin on the year and have intercepted just one of the last 193 passes thrown their way. Lock’s eyes are lighting up watching tape of that secondary.
Corresponding dead bowl: The Delta Bowl was played in Memphis from 1948-49. The first game matched Mississippi against TCU, with the Rebels winning. The second game was a classic bowl scam: Bowl officials signed a deal with Tulsa before the season, but then Tulsa started 0-8 and had to be replaced by William & Mary. Bill & Mary then shut out Oklahoma A&M in the bowl, 20-0.
