Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz shared his thoughts on the halftime incident against Florida, and how the rest of the game played out following a 41-17 loss to Florida on Saturday.
“I was watching, my eyes were on the ball,” Drinkwitz said. “We played the ball, the ball was knocked away, and I started running in, and saw one of their coaches on our hash yelling at our guys and then I saw more of their players join in. We got to keep our guys from joining in, we got to keep our guys from the sideline. It’s an ugly scene for football, it’s an ugly scene for college football, and I’m not proud of it, and I don’t know who started it, but we’ve got to figure it out, we’ve got to get it fixed.”
Here’s what Drinkwitz told the media after the game:
