Mizzou football holds first spring game of Eli Drinkwitz era

This is Eli Drinkwitz's second spring at the helm of Missouri football, but his first full, uninterrupted spring working with the Tigers.

Only three practices occurred last March before the coronavirus shut things down.

Saturday at Faurot Field represented Missouri's first spring game under Drinkwitz, but it wasn't a traditional game with four quarters. There were offensive, defensive and special teams drills before a red-zone scrimmage, followed by a full-field scrimmage.

This was the first spring game held by any Southeastern Conference school this year, with spring practice ending for the Tigers on Thursday.
