The 7-5, 5-4 Missouri Tigers and 7-5, 3-5 North Carolina Tar Heels hope to leave the distractions behind them on Monday, Dec. 26 at the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl. A week before Missou's last game, head coach Gary Pinkel was arrested for driving under the influence and was subsequently suspended from coaching against 5-7, 2-7 Texas Tech before returning at 2-10, 0-9 Kansas. As it would turn out the Tigers needed him, but for a half it looked like they were asleep at the wheel trailing 10-3 at the break. It was actually 10-0 after a pick six with 10:36 left during the second quarter. Junior placekicker Trey Barrow booted through the first points for Missouri from 23 yards away later in the period. Then during the third quarter junior running back Kendial Lawrence tied it up and sophomore quarterback James Franklin threw a 25-yard touchdown to senior WR Wes Kemp. Eight seconds into the fourth period Franklin found sophomore WR Marcus Lucas on a 53-yard scoring play for a 24-10 win. UNC didn't have the same distractions before their game with 3-9, 1-7 Duke although Everett Withers may have coached his final regular-season game at the school. Withers, the Heels' defensive coordinator, was elevated to head coach after Butch Davis was fired stemming from an NCAA investigation concerning improper benefits. North Carolina began well on offense scoring first, but 16 seconds after sophomore QB Bryn Renner found senior WR Dwight Jones for six, the Blue Devils evened the score. Freshman PK Thomas Moore then booted through two field goals in a row before freshman RB Giovani Bernard's 48-yard run to the house made it 20-7 Tar Heels. Moore would add one more FG to push the lead to two scores while Renner hooked up with Jones twice more to give UNC a 37-21 win. Both teams realize that this season could be salvaged with a win that could propel the team to have a good recruiting off-season and a chance at a better season next year.
