2. Frisco Bowl (vs. Boise State)

The Athletic projects Missouri to the Frisco Bowl in Texas to take on Group of Five perennial powerhouse Boise State.

Boise State has played some really good non-conference opponents this season and was right there with them, especially against Oklahoma State. The Broncos lost to the now-No. 7 team in the country by just one point.

Boise State and Missouri have yet to meet in a football game, giving this SEC-Mountain West game a special feel.

Running back Tyler Badie would love the opportunity to run against Boise State’s porous run defense. The Broncos are allowing 158.6 yards per game.

Badie, by himself, averages nearly 135 yards per game on the ground. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz would enjoy the challenge of finding creative ways to give Badie the ball in his final game as a Missouri Tiger.
