Eliah Drinkwitz and Mizzou players speak after Border War win
Here are the full videos from all the post-game press conferences Saturday after the Missouri Tigers beat Kansas in the revival of the Border War. First up, Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz.
Eliah Drinkwitz
“I’m extremely proud of those guys,” Drinkwitz said. “I thought the leadership on the sideline was really good. Didn’t flinch. You know, Beau (Pribula) and Jalen Catalon both talked about this yesterday after practice to our team about, we’re going to face some things we haven’t faced before. We’re going to really have to respond. Obviously, Beau did that after the fumble, and I thought our defense kind of settled in right there, too.”
Beau Pribula
“I think everybody stepped up every single time, and ya know, it’s huge,” Pribula said. “I think we grew a lot from that. It says a lot about, you know, just the character of this team. I thought everybody did a really good job handling adversity today.”
Brett Norfleet
“When we rolled up to the game today, I saw so many Mizzou fans, more than I’ve ever seen,” Missouri tight end Brett Norfleet said. “And I think it means a lot to our fans. And you know, at the end of the day, we’re trying to block out the noise, right? But, yeah, I mean, I think it’s good. I think it’s good for both schools to play each year. I mean, if you look, look at it in basketball every year, full gym, packed house. So if we can get it on football too, I think, I think that’s good for the sport.”
Daylan Carnell
“We’ve been in those situations before,” Missouri safety Daylan Carnell said. “I know I have. So I was just trying to keep the guys calm and tell them that we just need to go out there and do what we’ve been doing, trust our training. And just go out there and execute. It was really nothing they were doing. We had a couple busts on the back end that we need to get cleared up, but we just had to go out there and execute. That’s really all it was.”
Kevin Coleman
“Hey, one thing our coach preach is blocking,” Missouri receiver Kevin Coleman said. “Yeah, we say no block, no rock. So one thing about that group, we’re gonna be tough in the run game first. Because we know once the run game gets started, that’s when them backers come up, and that’s when we put the ball over their head.”
Zion Young
“The way we practice, you know, we, we built moments like that,” Missouri defensive end Zion Young said. “You know what I mean? We, we cherish moments like that. … We don’t want tight games, you know, we want to blow people out.”
