In the Cotton Bowl, Missouri's strong performance led to a 14-3 victory over Ohio State. Mizzou's Cody Schrader, with over 1,800 yards, played a key role. Ohio State's struggles on offense were evident, with a fumble sealing the game. This win marked a significant achievement for Mizzou, finishing the season 11-2 and securing their first New Year's Six victory in the CFP era. The victory speech by Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz was also well-received. The game was watched by 9.6M viewers, making it the most-watched non-Semi #GoodyearCottonBowl of the CFP era.

This isn’t what it’s supposed to feel like for Ohio State. The results this season didn’t meet the expectations or the standard people have for Ohio State at QB. And pressure is mounting on Ryan Day after the Cotton Bowl, @cj_teague writes ⤵️ https://t.co/0CaLOjZ1ou https://t.co/yuqjwlIDuv
Michigan DT Kris Jenkins said he felt bad watching Ohio State's Cotton Bowl loss: “I’m a hater. So obviously - 3-0 (vs. Ohio State) I’m a hater - but that ain't the team we played against on 25th of November. It wasn’t sad. But dang man. You feel me? Does that make sense? Your…
Michigan DT Kris Jenkins on Ohio State's Cotton Bowl debacle: "Yeah, no, I didn't like that at all. That wasn't the team we played. I mean, I'm a hater, so I don't really like to see them win, but I don't want to see them go out like that, either, That was rough."

As a lifelong diehard Mizzou fan to other Mizzou fans - don’t let any narrative take away from what this team accomplished. It was a special win, a special season and a special group of players that I will most certainly remember forever. #MIZ
Ohio State Made Unfortunate History in Cotton Bowl https://t.co/m361AGNu1f
Credit everyone involved with Mizzou, including the fans, for going all-in on football, recruiting & NIL. This is the payoff, 11 wins, whipping Ohio State's ass in the Cotton Bowl and Playoff hopes in 2024. Full Show: https://t.co/5YZ1XNAkS0 https://t.co/NRKTrkom9r
Ohio State's defense has Missouri in a vice. Too bad they don't have a functional QB.

A tough night for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. https://t.co/HytxgkQOsI
First time since 1999/2000 that Ohio State has had back-to-back losses to end the season in consecutive years (the final two years of John Cooper’s tenure).
Mizzou stomped on The Ohio State’s throat https://t.co/YY3IYWhbyc https://t.co/E6N7FR7vEy
The mighty Ryan Day can’t win a game with his 3rd string freshman QB? Tough.
For those saying Ryan Day has a really good overall record...that is true. This is also true: 1-3 vs Michigan 0-3 vs the SEC 1-6 vs CFP Top 5
Ohio State held to 3 points or fewer for 3rd time since 2000. Also: 31-0 to Clemson in 2016 Fiesta Bowl 35-3 to USC 9/13/2008
Ohio State only scored 3 points in the Cotton Bowl 😬 It's the fewest amount of points OSU has scored in a game in the Ryan Day era. https://t.co/rZEv2eV7LL

Lost in Ryan Day hysteria, let's give credit to Missouri: 11-2, only losses at Georgia, and a game they should've beaten LSU. Bring back a ton next year, should start in the Top 10 and can legit make a 12-team playoff. Eli Drinkwitz did a HELL of a job this eason

What a season for Mizzou. So happy for everyone who went there and didn’t go the journalism school.
Last 3 years, Ryan Day has had: CJ Stroud, Marvin Harrison Jr, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, JT Tuimoloau, TreyVeon Henderson, among others Ryan Day has zero Big Ten East titles, Big Ten titles, zero wins over Michigan, 1 postseason win (zero in the playoff)
All time record of @SEC teams vs Ohio State in bowl games? 13-1 https://t.co/JzBTCAoIKu
From @ESPNStatsInfo: Two of Ohio State's three lowest points totals in the past 30 seasons have come in bowl games: 0 against Clemson in 2016 CFP semifinal, and 3 tonight against Missouri.
Missouri finishes the 2023 season 11-2 with a Cotton Bowl victory🐯 https://t.co/1MQRSXIwmi
11-2 Mizzou. New Year's Six Bowl win. Will finish solidly in the Top 10. I know they won the East in 2013 and '14, but this was their best season since joining the SEC.

That's Missouri's first bowl win against an AP top-10 team since the 1961 Orange Bowl against No. 4 Navy
Mizzou’s biggest bowl game since Jan. 1, 1970, results in a win over Ohio State. Quite a season for the Tigers with 11 wins.
Former Division II running back Cody Schrader finishes with more than 1,800 yards rushing and receiving and Mizzou about to finish 11-2 with a Cotton Bowl win over Ohio State. Helluva job all around.
Ohio State ends back to back seasons with losses to Michigan and in a bowl for first time since 1990-91
Special season for Missouri. Good to see
With today’s double digit Missouri win over Ohio State, the SEC moves to 13-1 all time in bowl games against THE Ohio State.
Ryan Day has coached four games w/ Ohio State in December or later as a favorite... 2023 vs. Missouri ❌ 2021 vs. Utah ❌ 2020 vs. Northwestern ❌ 2019 vs. Wisconsin ❌ He's 0-4 against the spread -- 1 of 3 HCs 0-4 ATS or worse in this spot last 20 years (Jerry Kill & Pat Hill) https://t.co/1UIs4G29aR
Actually....I was wrong. Ohio State is actually 1-13 all time vs SEC in Bowl games. The 2011 Sugar Bowl win for Ohio State was later vacated. https://t.co/BVOMsEDizQ
One of the greatest RBs in @MizzouFootball history 😤 Cody Schrader 🐯 https://t.co/U66tCNjKeK
Time to update the graphic.... Ohio State is now 2-13 all time in bowl games vs the @SEC. https://t.co/T5gJwPH6tI
This is done. Lincoln Kienholz fumbles, Missouri recovers and Ohio State is headed into a crucial offseason.
I love that Mizzou showed up for one quarter and still beat the hell out of Ohio State https://t.co/BXaYshSzQM
Ryan Day, spending the rest of this Cotton Bowl trying to figure out how to blame Ohio State's performance on Connor Stalions and sign stealing https://t.co/pFSvGF0SVI
I don't know what game YOU guys have been watching, but the Cotton Bowl has been the best bowl by FAR.
Ryan Day at Ohio State: • 56-8 Record 1-3 vs Michigan 0-3 vs the SEC 1-6 vs CFP Top 5 https://t.co/VZDM8J1JR8
Ohio State fumbles the ball and Mizzou recovers. That pretty much seals the game. Pending the review.
Ohio State fumbles the ball and Mizzou recovers. That pretty much seals the game.
Don’t know exactly how to weigh these bowl games in the grand scheme but when Mizzou beats Ohio State to get 11 wins that’s big for Mizzou. When Rutgers beats Miami for its 1st winning season since 2016 that’s big for RU. When Arizona beats OU to get to 10 wins, that big for Zona
3 points would be the lowest scoring output from Ohio State since they were shutout in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal against Clemson in 2016. That 2016 team was the last Ohio State team without Ryan Day on staff.
MIZZOU IS CRUISING IN THE 4TH QUARTER. https://t.co/ZZFHL2TqB0 https://t.co/h7oMEcG3YG

What a SEASON for Mizzou!
Ohio State is about to go to 2-13 against the SEC in bowl games.

Mizzou scores again. It's 14-3.
What a season for Eliah Drinkwitz and Mizzou.
Mizzou has scored another touchdown!
Rather than taking the points to go up a full touchdown, Mizzou goes for it on 4th and 1 and gets it!
Ohio State's defense is imploding now. Late hit gives Missouri the ball inside the 35 with 8 minutes to play.
FINALLY, THERE'S A TD IN THE COTTON BOWL. 🙌 Mizzou takes the lead. 🐯 (🎥: @espn) https://t.co/6sfSiGZwXQ
After giving up a couple of big plays the Mizzou defense holds Ohio State to a punt from the Mizzou 39.
LADIES & GENTLEMEN: WE'VE GOT A COTTON BOWL TOUCHDOWN. MIZZOU TAKES THE LEAD! https://t.co/9IjkAF8lvG
Missouri takes a 7-3 lead over Ohio State, and that may put this game out of reach
Touchdown Missouri. Ohio State is down 7-3, now. Ryan Day better figure something out on offense.
That Jayden Fielding miss is going to come back and hurt bad if Mizzou scores a touchdown here. I don't think Ohio State can score a touchdown right now.
No points scored in the 3rd but Mizzou is knocking on Ohio State's door to start the 4th.
A 49-yard completion for Mizzou! Their previous longest play had been 17 yards.
