Ohio State vs. Missouri complete Cotton Bowl preview and prediction

It’s been a while, but it’s finally game week once again for the Ohio State football team. The Buckeyes will take on the No. 9 ranked Missouri Tigers in the 88th edition of the Cotton Bowl Classic.

This will be the third time for Ohio State to appear in the Cotton Bowl. The Bucks won both previous meetings. In 2017, OSU dismantled USC by a score of 24-7, and then all the way back in 1987, the Buckeyes beat Texas A&M by a score of 28-12.

Ohio State will look to stay unbeaten in the Cotton Bowl, but the game will be no easy task. Missouri has had an outstanding season losing only twice to SEC foes Georgia and LSU.

There are still many questions to be answered for this Buckeye team. Will Devin Brown prove he can be the quarterback Ohio State needs? How many, if any, players will opt out before Friday’s game? Will we see fiery Ryan Day like we did last year against Georgia? Time to get ready for one last run in 2023!

What a game we have on tap. Yes, it feels like a letdown not being in the College Football Playoff, but there is still a great deal to play for and by all accounts, this is shaping up to be a great matchup.

It seems at this point, Ohio State will be fielding a mostly healthy and intact squad. Except for those who moved on via the transfer portal and an injury to Lathan Ransom, the Buckeyes should be pretty close to full strength. However, there are rumors that Marvin Harrison Jr may not play now as…
