Craig connected from 51 and 56 yards in the fourth quarter, as Mizzou finishes the 2024 season 10-3. Mizzou quarterback Brady Cook, a Chaminade product, earns the game MVP honors, finishing the game 18 of 32 for 287 yards and two touchdowns. Cook is the first Mizzou quarterback to start in four straight bowl games, and finishes his career 27-13 as a starter. He’s the second-winningest quarterback in Mizzou history behind Chase Daniel, who had 30 wins.

The Hawkeyes led 24-21 in the fourth quarter, before the Tigers came back.
