Drink thanks fans again for fans last Thursday and the student section for being great and it helped the team start fast.
He thought Luke Bauer and Blake Craig had great games. He called this Bauer's best game punting.
He thought the offense started fast but needs to be more efficient in the passing game.
Called Buffalo HC Pete Lembo one of the great program rebuilders.
The challenge this week will be stopping the zone read and option reads to limit Buffalo's QB.
Drink was happy with how the defense played from start to finish last week vs. MSU. A lot of people earned opportunities to play. There has been some moves on the special teams depth chart to get some guys to play. Named Nic Rodriguez and Trajen Greco as a couple of players who stood out.
Said Cook has to be more accurate and it starts with his fundamentals and the same goes with the WRs.
3-1-7 defense package is a third down package to be able to have the most speed on the field and allows the team to play man-to-man and have someone guard the slot.
Expect starters to play the whole game coming up this weekend and he expects it to be a dogfight. Last week, when it became 35-0 he saw enough of what he needed to see. Saw enough from Brady Cook, Theo Wease was already a bit banged up and Tollison has had enough snaps.
Front 7 of Mizzou's defense, Drink feels really good about the depth. He thinks that rotation will continue and doesn't see a drop-off in production. Think the team is six deep at DT. Sam Williams has earned a spot in the rotation.
Blake Craig was tagged as the guy to follow Mevis in fall camp last year. he repped with the first team sometime last year to send a message to Mevis. The same thing happened with Craig this camp with Nick Quadrini.
He thought the helmet communication was fine.
Injury report will be updated on Wednesday.
In order to be good offensively you have to have a good starting 5 OL. "They have to work backward and move immovable objects."
Luther Burden's fumble was supposed to be a pitch so it could've been incomplete but LB3 went through the hands of the quarterback instead of being one yard in front of the QB.
Shaun Dolac is the reigning MAC DPOTW he was a first-team All-MAC selection in 2022. He's consistent with what they see in the SEC and he can do things in the box and get in the backfield but Mizzou also has to watch out for him in the pass game. He had 11 tackles, two TFLs, a sack and an interception vs Lafayette.
Approach hasn't changed to using starters vs. FCS teams. Won't hold people out of games because of the non-conference schedule. The question was because of what happened to Florida State QB Jordan Travis vs. an FCS opponent last year, would Drink consider holding some players out in non-conference games. But Drink is playing to win and injuries happen.
