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.

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.
