Eli Drinkwitz’s Mizzou Tigers face a monumental challenge in Week 10 with No. 1 Georgia on the schedule. Not only does MU have to prepare for Georgia’s elite defense, but the Bulldogs could play 2 quarterbacks.
JT Daniels was Georgia’s starting quarterback in the Week 1 win over Clemson, but has played in just 3 games this season due to injuries. UGA coach Kirby Smart said Daniels was cleared to play in Week 9 against Florida, but Stetson Bennett played the complete game.
On Wednesday’s SEC media teleconference, Drinkwitz shared his thoughts on preparing for the 2 QBs.
“I think Stetson has a little bit more ability in the run game,” Drinkwitz said. “They do a little bit more with him in the quarterback read-and-run game. But other than that, coach Monken calls it to their strengths. … You call the game to the strengths of your quarterbacks. … They both have that ability, I really don’t know that (the offense) changes that much.”
Saturday’s game is set for noon ET, airing on ESPN.
