Eliah Drinkwitz and Mizzou players speak after beating Louisiana
Mizzou coach Eliah Drinkwitz, running back Ahmad Hardy, cornerback Dreyden Norwood, center Connor Tollison and linebacker Khalil Jacobs meet with media after the Tigers beat Louisiana 52-10 on Saturday.
Here are the full videos of each.
Eliah Drinkwitz
“Really proud of the football team,” Drinkwitz said. “This is one of those games, that’s a really good football team. They won 10 games last year. They got nine returning starters. I think they’ve got a good football team. They didn’t have some of their best today, but for us that could have gone one of two ways. And I really challenge our guys to have, to demonstrate an Elite Edge, to demand it from themselves and others, and to be disciplined, to dominate their opponent for four quarters.
“And you know, outside of two plays, probably in that game, the interception by Beau (Pribula), and then that long run, I really felt like we really dominated that game. Obviously, the time of possession, the ability to rush for 400, two 100-yard rushers again, and the ability to control the swing eight was really good. There’s always things you want to work on.”
Ahmad Hardy
“Last season, they beat us by 14 Points,” Hardy said of his performance against Louisiana with Louisiana-Monroe in 2024. “And I was telling the guys, this was a little personal. So I wanted to beat them. I wasn’t really focused on yards, I just wanted to beat him. And it came with it.”
Dreyden Norwood
“I thought we did a good job this week,” Norwood said. “Coach (Corey) Batoon had a good plan for us in the passing game, and we went out and were able to execute.”
Connor Tollison
“I think we improved, you know, from last week,” Tollison said. “And that’s really the goal we’ve been trying to do every week. Just get a little better and better. But I think we did better today in communication. You know, there will be some things to clean up. I know we had a few tackles for loss, but we’ll get better.”
Khalil Jacobs
“Big shout out to Darris Smith and Zion Young,” Jacobs said. “Darris had a great pick for me to come open and Zion stayed on his path to be able to let me get that sack. Been waiting on it all year. It felt good.”
