What Eli Drinkwitz, Curtis Luper and Marcus Carroll had to say at Bud’s Classic BBQ.
With Homecoming on the horizon, “Tiger Talk” was back up and going at Bud’s Classic BBQ.
Here’s what Eli Drinkwitz, Curtis Luper and Marcus Carroll told Mike Kelly.
Eli Drinkwitz | Head coach
Guys channeled the right energy, had great focus last Friday night
Praised the fast start
Pressuring the punter was a bad idea on the fake punt. Great tackle by Luther Burden III. His proudest moment of the game
On Corey Flagg Jr.’s interception, Tre’Vez Johnson moved outside so that UMass quarterback Taisun Phommachanh thought he had a receiver open in that window. Flagg jumped the passing lane and came up with the pick.
We have a lot of trust in Marcus Carroll, he did a great job with outside zone on Saturday.
Everything’s good with Luther. He practiced fully today.
Brett Norfleet was in Witness Protection Program for a few weeks. Good for Brady’s confidence to re-establish a connection with Norfleet.
Josh Manning has earned his opportunities.
Appreciative of the defensive line depth stepping up in the wake of Joe Moore’s season-ending injury.
Appreciative of his job at Auburn, got to be around a winning program.
Impressed with Mizzou’s attitude today at practice.
Curtis Luper | Running Backs Coach
Curtis will be very involved in helping his son, Chantz Luper, transition to coaching (here’s a great story from the Columbia Missourian’s Zach Sweet on Chantz’s journey from Mizzou to Rock Bridge).
A lot of people knew that Drinkwitz was really good at coaching dating all the way back to his Auburn days.
Called recruiting Cam Newton “finding a needle in the haystack”. Called Newton a mammoth.
Marcus Carroll | Running Back
Blessed to be a part of the team. The offensive line is awesome.
Him and Curtis Luper were at Marcus’ house talking on the couch for three hours when Marcus was in the portal
On lessons learned from football: Never feel comfortable. It’s always about adapting.
Wants to get a Master’s degree in art. Paints a lot. Dated back to high school. Last painted a skyline. “I ain’t no Michaelangelo.”
