Union Home Mortgage Gaparilla Bowl

  The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl takes place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. This year the two teams that played were Wake Forrest and Missouri. For this game, I picked Missouri to win because they play better, but are just a lower-tier SEC team. 

Wake Forrest started this game strong. Taylor Morin started the game for them with a touchdown. But, Mizzou’s Harrison Mesvis responded with a touchdown, but this wasn’t enough for them to pull ahead. 

Wake Forrest also started the second quarter well. Justice Ellison got a touchdown for them. Then, Mizzou, this time was able to respond with a touchdown by Demariyon Houston. Sadly, though, this wasn’t enough to put them ahead just yet.

Mizzou was finally able to start a quarter in a way that was best for them, Cody Schrader got a touchdown to start this quarter for them. But, Wake Forrest’s Jahmal Banks got a touchdown for them, but the kick was missed. 

Mizzou did not have a chance by the time of the fourth quarter. Taylor Morin scored his second touchdown for the game and Mizzou lost the game 27-17. This was heavily disappointing, especially as an SEC fan.

BOWL COUNT: 10/16
