Mizzou quarterback Beau Pribula, running back Ahmad Hardy, defensive end Zion Young and safety Jalen Catalon met with media Tuesday ahead of the Tigers’ matchup with Alabama.

Here are videos of all four press conferences.

Beau Pribula

“I think it’s just improved really,” Pribula said. Ever since Game 1, I think that’s kind of normal. You know, the offensive line kind of mesh together and get together. And running backs like Jamal (Roberts) and Ahmad (Hardy) kind of getting their flow. I think that’s really been the main area of improvement is just being comfortable with each other and not just running one type of run, kind of mixing of variations of runs. Whether it’s a gap scheme, or outside zone, inside zone, different things like that to kind of keep the defense on their heels.”

“Anytime there’s a run game, it helps,” Pribula said. “It just makes my job easier. Anytime that offensive line can get movement up front and the running backs can get yards, keep us on schedule, it puts us in a great position. Especially making third downs easier.”

Ahmad Hardy

“It starts with the line up front, they get a great push up there,” Hardy said of his success breaking tackles. “I don’t have to make a lot of guys miss, but the guys that I’m supposed to make miss, I try to make them miss.”

Zion Young

“We’ve been playing explosive, very physical,” Young said. “But like I said last time, the best is yet to come.”

Jalen Catalon

“We’re playing great football,” Catalon said. “But there’s always things you can work on as an individual and as a team.”
