Game Notes:
Missouri
The highlight of Missouri’s season was a whipping they applied to Florida. Otherwise, they feasted on a lot of mediocre teams again this year. Drew Lock is certainly a good quarterback, however, can he perform against top-level defenses? That will not be an issue against Oklahoma State, however. The Tigers possess a mid-level defense that struggles specifically against the pass. In fact, they rank 104th in the nation versus the pass which is an issue in this matchup.

Ep 101: Conference Championship Sunday - Preview, Prop Bets, and Predictions
by Full Press Coverage on January 29, 2023 at 11:25 am
Oklahoma State
The Cowboys are in for a long day defensively as they rank 100th in the country going against the 17th ranked offense. Oklahoma State went just 6-6 this season, however, they did manage to beat Texas along with West Virginia. Star running back Justice Hill is sitting out this game, which significantly impacts the Pokes offense in some ways. Although, when you consider their offense is ranked 10th overall, led by quarterback Taylor Cornelius and a plethora of good wide receiving options, they should be fine.
Final analysis
Expect the Liberty Bowl to be an absolute shootout. Both defenses struggle against the pass, which means Lock and Cornelius should both be in for big days. Whoever can get a couple of defensive stops or force a key turnover may be the one to pull out a victory.
