Eli Drinkwitz was brought to Missouri to fix the offense. And his comments at this point in the summer seem to indicate things are heading in the right direction.
Drinkwitz will likely start no more than three returning starters from a year ago. For most teams, that would seem like a red flag. After last season, though, it’s likely to be met with a sigh of relief from Mizzou fans.
The Tigers averaged fewer than 18 points per game last season against conference opponents. Only Arkansas and Vanderbilt performed worse in SEC play.
Drinkwitz identified the problem, and he knew he had to find a solution.
