With college football on hold, Mizzou's Drinkwitz stays focused on the present

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Three weeks ago Eliah Drinkwitz was on the field with his Missouri football team leading the third practice of the spring.

On Wednesday, with the sports world on hold during the coronavirus pandemic, he sat in front of a computer for a virtual press conference, answering questions via the Zoom video conferencing app.

Life moves pretty fast, right?

“Obviously, it’s an interesting time,” he said.

Just as he started to settle into his job as Mizzou’s new coach, Drinkwitz now works from home, where he splits time running his football program and helping his wife with their four daughters.
