COLUMBIA, Mo. - Here’s everything Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz had to say after Saturday’s 34-24 win over Central Michigan:

“First off, congratulations to Desiree (Reed-Francois) on being 1-0 as the athletic director here. I appreciate her support throughout this week and today. I also want to just point out us honoring the victims of the Afghanistan suicide bombing and our team wore a sticker on the back of their helmet that was important for us to make sure that we honor those guys and then thanks to the families for their sacrifices.
