Eli Drinkwitz weighs in on performance of Mizzou QB Connor Bazelak
Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers haven’t had the season they thought they were going to have.
Heading out of the bye week, the Tigers are 3-4. The good news? They have a trip to Vanderbilt this weekend.
On Tuesday, Drinkwitz discussed the up-and-down play of QB Connor Bazelak. Drinkwitz acknowledged the need for Bazelak to improve, but added that he has a lot of faith in the quarterback:
Drinkwitz on his QB: "We've got all the faith in the world in Connor. But we also know we have to improve."

Bazelak has thrown for 1,912 yards, 12 touchdowns and 7 interceptions this season while completing 67% of his passes.
If he can show major improvement down the stretch, the Tigers could make a push for bowl eligibility. We’ll see how he fares in Nashville this weekend.
