“I thought our guys had really good energy,” said Tigers head coach Eliah Drinkwitz. “We’re just now getting started on the week, so those guys were locked-in and we look forward to building every day from here.”
Missouri returned to the practice field for the first time since Wednesday and will settle into its regular game-week routine for the first time since last playing November 24.
“I think just the reality of game week being here, the intensity and the focus that we have I think is all starting to come together right now,” Drinkwitz said.
The Tigers got a boost to its bowl preparation earlier in the day, as offensive lineman Javon Foster was named to the Senior Bowl.
“It’s just a tribute to the hard work and dedication that Javon’s put in over the course of time being here,” Drinkwitz said. “People dream about being an All-American or all SEC, but it’s great that he was invited to the Senior Bowl and he did it through a lot of hard work.”
