Missouri vs. Ohio State (-2, 49)
It’s not a mystery who Missouri will put on the field in this bowl game. The Tigers’ big three — quarterback Brady Cook, running back Cody Schrader and wide receiver Luther Burden III — plan to play Friday in Arlington, Texas. The unsolved mystery is on the opposite sideline, where Ohio State coach Ryan Day hopes to have a majority of his stars suited up for action.
When the Buckeyes practiced Tuesday, star wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. was not dressed in pads and rode a stationary bike. Harrison is expected to be a top-five pick in the NFL Draft, so it would be surprising if he plays, though no announcement had been made as of Wednesday morning. Harrison, a unanimous All-American and the Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation’s top receiver, finished the regular season with 67 receptions for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns.
