Eli Drinkwitz acknowledges the challenges ahead for Mizzou football after a recent loss. The coach reminds the team that college football is different from the NFL, where a defeat doesn’t derail championship hopes. He emphasizes the need for the team to remain strong and resilient, preparing them to face their next opponent, Tennessee, with confidence.
In contrast to season goals, the next game against Tennessee brings a new opportunity for the Tigers. Despite setbacks, the team is optimistic and remains focused on their mantra of going 1-0 each week. The loss to Georgia was disappointing, but not devastating. Drinkwitz encourages his players to move forward with resilience and determination, recalling the wisdom of Winston Churchill, “Failure is never fatal. As long as you learn from it and keep moving forward, it’s not really losses, they’re just lessons.”
