The Missouri Tigers rolled to a big win on Saturday in Columbia, trouncing a hapless Vanderbilt team 41-0.
The game was never in doubt, and the Tigers avenged a disappointing loss in Nashville last season.
After the game, coach Eli Drinkwitz weighed in on his team’s outstanding performance. He also shared his thoughts on a historic moment that took place during the game.
Here’s what he said during his postgame press conference:
