Tigers Win But Fix What Matters | Missouri Tigers Football News

Mizzou football opened their season with a commanding win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, marking their sixth straight season-opening victory. Transfer QB Austin Simmons made his debut, showing promise despite room for growth, while Donovan Olugbode dazzled with career highs in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Coach Eli Drinkwitz praised the energy and atmosphere but called out lapses in third-quarter intensity and the defense’s lack of turnovers — a stark contrast to fall camp. Key fixes ahead: better quarterback protection, improved offensive line recognition, and fewer costly mistakes. The Tigers are off to a winning start, but the real work begins now to build on this momentum. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
