Defensive tackle Darius Robinson, like his coach Eliah Drinkwitz, noticed a change in Missouri football after the bye week.
It has been hard to miss.
The first tangible sign of better days ahead came in Nashville, Tennessee. But the wheels toward the sudden and surprising shift may have been set in motion a couple of weeks prior.
All signs point toward Al Davis.
Davis was promoted to the role of interim defensive line coach after Jethro Franklin took the brunt of a 62-point pounding at the hands of Tennessee. Franklin was fired after five games on the job.
Now Davis looks set for another promotion, one that will see him stay in the role full time.
And for Robinson, that's "big time."
"I feel like Al did a great job this season taking over and bringing a new energy and getting us to play very well," Robinson said. ... "I feel like sometimes change really makes things very up and down but I think keeping Al is gonna keep everything going forward."
