COLUMBIA, Mo. — Eli Drinkwitz wants the blame but not to get into specifics.
Missouri’s coach was adamant Tuesday that responsibility for the weekend’s blowout loss to Texas A&M lies with him but that the No. 21 Tigers (4-1 overall, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) will collectively share the burden of putting their first defeat of the season behind him.
The 41-10 drubbing in College Station, Texas, deepened concerns that could have previously been brushed off as overreactions, and some performances could lead to changes in playing time or starting roles.
One of the most flagrant problems from the game was Mizzou’s offensive line.
