Important to Know Before Placing a Bet
Sam Hartman takes the field for the final time as Wake Forest quarterback. While he has opted to play in the bowl game, Hartman made it clear he won't be returning to the program next season.
"Whatever decision Sam makes we support him," Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson told reporters. "Again, I think right now his intention is to go to the NFL. When the bowl game is over, if there's some incredible offer for him to go to another school and get life-changing money, how can we fault him for that? So it's a good problem to have, and he's going to have many good options."
Hartman has passed for 3,421 yards, 35 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this season. He is tied for the ACC career passing touchdowns record at 107 with former Clemson star Tajh Boyd (2010-13) and has a goal to surpass him in this game.
Mizzou will come into this game short-handed on defense in particular. Defensive ends Isaiah McGuire (team-best 7.5 sacks) and DJ Coleman (4.5 sacks) and safety Martez Manuel (4.0 sacks) all opted out of the bowl and declared for the NFL draft.
