Goal was to get better, get healthy and get ahead on Georgia.
Doesn't think Kirby Smart gets enough credit for his tenure at Georgia.
Surprised he has never won a National Coach of the Year award.
Thinks Smart and the staff have done the best job this season since Smart has been there.
More than capable of making plays on special teams. Of course they can do it on offense.
Thinks Carson Beck has taken his game to a new level since the Auburn game.
UGA's o-line is physical and good in the run. Not many flaws with the defense.
Drink reads off stats of their defense and everything is top 10 except red zone defense. He believes that's because no one ever gets inside the red zone vs Georgia.
Mizzou needs to control what they can control and ignore the noise this week.
Health-wise he thinks everyone who was dinged up seemed okay. Chad Bailey is questionable at best. He didn't practice yesterday. He originally said Bailey would be out.
Ennis Rakestraw, Marcellus Johnson, Cody Schrader all looked good.
Self-scouted one day, used one day to scout a future opponent, used one day to scout Georgia during the bye.
Without Bowers, UGA has a lot of weapons whether it be Rara Thomas, Ladd McConkey, Dom Lovett...they're not lacking in weapons.
He said UGA's biggest things right now is ability to run the ball and Beck's decision-making.
D-Rob originally strained his calf during the summer but has worked through that and the position change.
He remembers awesome crowd and fast start in last year;s game. He also remembers Mizzou not finishing.
He said the fast start vs. LSU and the strong finish vs. Kentucky is something they have to put together on Saturday.
He told his team last Tuesday there will be storylines win or lose. If they win then it's assumed they win the East and if they lose the season is over. He said the team needs to ignore that.
Mizzou is No. 1 in red zone offense in the FBS. It will be important to finish drives and get points, specifically TDs.
"This will be a third down/red zone game."
Thinks UGA does well with multiple fronts and using odd fronts. They are good at bringing simulated pressure.
Thinks one of the things UGA has is the amount of tools they have in its toolbox to bracket players, particularly in the slot. (Luther Burden III is a slot WR)
Defensively, tackling hasn't been where it needs to be. Eyes in man-to-man coverage hasn't been good.
Offensively, they're still struggling on third downs. They've been able to avoid being on third downs a little but they have to convert when they're on third down.
Improvement of offense is tied to the offensive line play.
