The Tigers traveled all the way to Starkville, Mississippi only to get lose decidedly to a Bulldogs team in the bottom of the divisional standings. So why is there still room for optimism?
It’s hard to judge this Missouri team by where they are now after they were predicted to only win only two or three games during the preseason. Head Coach Eli Drinkwitz explained that he and his coaching staff were upset with last night’s outcome, but that they were ultimately very proud of how far this team has come this season. “We didn’t finish the way we wanted to, but we earned ourselves the respect to go to a bowl game,” Drinkwitz said.
