Eli Drinkwitz’s first foray into the Missouri-Arkansas football series ended with the first-year Tigers head coach deciding to look across the field instead of the action on the field.
Harrison Mevis kicked a game-winning 32-yard field goal as time ran out to lift the Tigers over the Razorbacks 50-48 Saturday in game dubbed the Battle Line Rivalry.
“I would be lying if I said that I didn’t have any doubt, but I felt good about it,” Drinkwitz said of the field goal. “He had been 6 for 6 (this season). Honestly, I looked across the field. I was about the 50, (Arkansas coach Sam Pittman) was on the 50, so I just watched him when the ball was kicked.
