Drinkwitz refreshed by encouraging scrimmage from Mizzou's offense

COLUMBIA, Mo. - On the day Mizzou was scheduled to kick off the 2020 season, the Tigers instead held their second preseason scrimmage on Saturday, now three weeks away from the season’s official start.

Mizzou coach Eliah Drinkwitz visited with reporters on Zoom after putting the Tigers through a scrimmage of between 125-150 snaps on Faurot Field.

The good news for the offense: The quarterbacks moved the ball and didn’t throw any interceptions.

The good news for the defense: Ryan Walters’ unit collected a pair of takeaways and had a goal-line stand.

“If I was fired up about the offense (then) I’m ticked off about the defense,” Drinkwitz said.
