Match: Navy Midshipmen vs Missouri Tigers
Date : December 31, 2009
Time : 3:30 PM ET
NCAA Football
A potent passing game has helped Missouri to its fifth consecutive bowl game. The nation's fourth-best rushing offense has guided Navy to its most victories in three seasons.
Two teams with contrasting offensive styles meet for the first time in 49 years in the Texas Bowl at Houston's Reliant Stadium on Thursday.
This is the third meeting between the teams and first since Missouri won the 1961 Orange Bowl to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
Missouri (8-4) takes a three-game winning streak into its fourth straight bowl game played in the state of Texas.
Trying for a third consecutive bowl victory, the Tigers hoped to be headed to a more prestigious postseason destination after starting 4-0. Three straight defeats to ranked teams Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas during a stretch of four losses in five games, however, ended their chances of a Big 12 North Division title and BCS bowl bid.
Instead, Missouri looks to conclude its late-season success with the school's 13th bowl victory.
