The Missouri Tigers (8-4) and the Navy Midshipmen (8-4) will be playing against each other at the Texas Bowl, which turns to be one of the most famous bowls on the period. The venue will be the Reliant Stadium located at Houston Texas. The event will be starting at 8:00 PM ET and is going to be televised on NFL Network.

The Tigers ranked 109th in pass defense, but that shouldn’t be a concern against Navy, which ranks third in rushing but next to last nationally in passing. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo is familiar with bowl games after directing the Midshipmen into bowl games in each of his three seasons as a coach.

Here we have some numbers from the teams in order to make easier the comparison between them and see with more accuracy who could win the game with the biggest odds. Talking about the total yards we can see that Navy has 351.9 yards, being located at the 80th place while Missouri has 417.2 yards, being located at the 32nd place. On the other hand, at the passing yards, we can see that Navy has 81.4 yards, being located at the 119th place while Missouri has 298.4 yards, being located at the 14th place. On the rushing yards, we can see that Navy has 279.7 yards, being located at the 3rd place while Missouri has 132.2 yards, being located at the 81st place.

The Midshipmen have won at least eight games every year since 2003, but this year’s schedule was supposed to be the toughest the Midshipmen have faced in quite some time.

Those feelings were assuaged in late October when the Mids defeated Wake Forest without their starting quarterback or slotback. They went on to defeat Notre Dame and currently have eight wins with a game against Army still remaining.
