Bowl bound! #Mizzou tops Vandy. Odom–“Let’s go bowlin’ baby!!!” (VIDEO)

November 19, 2017 By Bill Pollock

Drew Lock threw three touchdown passes in less than ideal conditions, special teams came up big and the defense turned in a pick-six as Mizzou won its fifth straight game to become bowl eligible with its sixth win of the season, a 45-17 rout of Vanderbilt on Saturday night.  The Tigers pulled off a rare feat for SEC teams.  Only one other conference team ever started a season 1-5 and finished with a bowl game.  That was Mississippi State back in 1983.

The Tigers are now eligible for one of the eight bowls listed above. Representatives from the Taxslayer Bowl have been in attendance for a couple of previous Tiger games as well as the Liberty Bowl.
