The Missouri Tigers surprised many fans and media members in 2020, going 5-5 during a 10-game, all-SEC season.
It was Year 1 under coach Eli Drinkwitz, so the sky is the limit heading into his second year in Columbia.
On Tuesday, Drinkwitz joined “The Paul Finebaum Show” and said he learned a lot in Year 1. The biggest lesson, he said, was that you have to win along the offensive and defensive lines to be successful in the SEC:
"Quarterbacks are sexy & fun, but you gotta win in the trenches in this league and that was reiterated to us in a big way." –@CoachDrinkwitz on his first year in the SEC

Drinkwitz has a quarterback returning to the team in Connor Bazelak, but he seems just as excited to have depth along the offensive and defensive lines.
Can the Tigers continue to win in the SEC under Drinkwitz’s leadership? We’ll find out this fall!
