In this story:


The Missouri Tigers are set to end their season two days after Christmas, taking on the Virginia Cavaliers in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Tigers finished their season on a high note, taking down Arkansas 31-17 on the road. Missouri now sits at 8-4 on the season, with a chance to make program history by notching three straight seasons with nine or more wins.

Missouri's attention is now shifted to the Gator Bowl, taking on a talented Virginia squad that was a single win away from making the College Football Playoff.

"We're playing a tremendous Virginia team, who was a playoff-caliber team who won the ACC regular season champs," Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz said on Dec. 9. "They got tremendous coaches, coach Elliot, ACC Coach of the Year. They're really good in all three phases. And so for us to have an opportunity to play on ABC, 7:30 (p.m.) on a Saturday night versus a playoff-worthy team, I think it's going to be tremendous competition."

It's worth noting that the Tigers will be down a large group of players for this bowl game. Tight end Brett Norfleet and linebacker Josiah Trotter both sustained injuries in the regular-season finale against Arkansas and Drinkwitz ruled them out for this game.

The Tigers have also seen multiple transfer portal departures, the most notable of them being quarterback Beau Pribula. Freshman Matt Zollers will start in his place.

Wide receivers Joshua Manning and Marquis Johnson also announced their intention to enter the transfer portal. Running back Marquise Davis, who appeared in three games this season and recorded 200 yards, also will transfer.

Here are all the streaming and radio details for Missouri's final game of the 2025 season, along with a complete schedule of the rest of the college football postseason.
