Eli Drinkwitz shows off his Twitter prowess after OT win over Florida
Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers are now bowl eligible after beating Florida 24-23 on Saturday evening in Columbia.
The game went into overtime tied at 16. Then, Florida scored on the first possession of OT. Mizzou answered with a Tyler Badie TD run and then Drinkwitz made a bold call.
The Tigers went for 2 points and the win, converting on a broken play in which QB Connor Bazelak found TE Daniel Parker Jr. on his third read.
After the game, Drinkwitz was quite active on Twitter. As you can see below, he called out a couple of Mizzou accounts that questioned the decision to go for it:

Can the Tigers pick up win No. 7 at Arkansas on Friday? We know one thing for sure — Drinkwitz won’t be afraid to take a chance in that game, either.
