COLUMBIA, Mo. — After Missouri blew out Louisiana last Saturday to open the 2025 season with its third consecutive nonconference win, Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz gave the team a normal postgame address in the locker room.
He presented a game ball to Ahmad Hardy, whose 250 rushing yards against the Ragin’ Cajuns were the seventh-most ever in an MU game. Drinkwitz said he was proud of how Mizzou, now ranked 23rd in the country, had started its season.
