Missouri Tigers football coach Eliah Drinkwitz spoke with the media Saturday after the team's fifth day of preseason camp. Drinkwitz discussed the first week of practices, providing updates on the ongoing quarterback competition, injuries, and players who have stood out on both offense and defense.

"I've been really pleased with the way these guys have attacked it," Drinkwitz said. "I think they've had really good energy about how we practice, acclimating the new guys to our systems. And the routine from day to day, I think they've really taken advantage of the recovery. Been pleased. The play has been up and down both sides of the ball. A lot of things to continually work on, but I thought the effort has been really good."

The Tigers are preparing for their season opener against Central Arkansas, scheduled for Thursday, August 28 at Memorial Stadium.
