The Missouri Tigers head coach held a press conference Sunday afternoon to preview Mizzou's week 1 matchup against Murray State.
head coach Eli Drinkwitz has emphasized multiple times that their full focus heading into the season is on Murray State. The Tigers will host the Racers Thursday, August 29, at Faurot Field. To preview the matchup, Drinkwitz spoke to the media Sunday. Here's all that he had to say:"Excited to kick off the season. Obviously exciting time for college football, and I know our team is ready to put this off season behind us and get started on on this season and this challenge.
"Coach Wright is is an excellent football coach. He does an outstanding job. He's got experience in both SEC pro level, and it's been tremendous at all the different places and stops that he's had before. He's got a lot of different types of coaches on his staff, and so we're trying to pull film from a lot of different places to get an idea of what they're going to do.
"We can go back and watch their tape last year at their previous schools, but we don't know what that means they're going to be doing in this scheme. So it's kind of a kind of challenge. Their offensive coordinator, the last time he called plays was with Jacksonville State two years ago. He's been a high school coach the past two years where he was the tight ends coach, he wasn't a play caller. So we're going back and watching Jacksonville State tape.
