Eli Drinkwitz made a change at quarterback during Missouri’s 40-12 loss at Kansas, but the Tigers’ coach told reporters after the game that it was a temporary change.
Brady Cook was 15-for-27 passing for 128 yards and 2 interceptions. Jack Abraham was 0-for-3 with 2 interceptions. Cook also rushed 13 times for 56 yards.
Drinkwitz said he accepted blame for the problems that led to the loss, and added that he thought the Tigers were better prepared.
The Tigers are now 1-1 and have Abilene Christian at home next week.
Drinkwitz: “Brady’s our quarterback. I was just trying to light a spark.” #Mizzou
