Eli Drinkwitz spikes 'narratives' after first top-10 win as Missouri coach: 'None of that matters'
Missouri’s 45-17 victory over previously unbeaten No. 8 Florida was described as a momentum-building win for coach Eli Drinkwitz. It was Drinkwitz’s first top-10 victory at Missouri after 10 losses, and Missouri piled up 560 yards of total offense.
Drinkwitz said the team should ignore outside narratives and focus on coaching and improvement after its prior loss at Mississippi State. Austin Simmons has thrown for 1,287 yards and 13 touchdowns without an interception, while Jamal Roberts has three 100-yard games and Missouri still has games against top-ranked Texas and No. 2 Georgia.

Court ruling leaves Mark Mitchell, other fifth-year college athletes in eligibility limbo
A Kentucky Court of Appeals dissolved the temporary injunction that had supported Missouri star Mark Mitchell’s eligibility for a fifth college season, along with the eligibility paths of Louisville’s Seth Trimble and LSU’s Skyy Clark. The ruling does not end the case, but the players must find another legal route while the Kentucky litigation continues.
Mitchell and other basketball players affected by the ruling are expected to file individual lawsuits in their states of residence as the season approaches. Mitchell was out of eligibility under existing NCAA rules after 2025-26, while the NCAA maintains that players who already played four seasons remain ineligible despite its June age-based model granting five years moving forward; Missouri is projected No. 39 with him and No. 54 without him.
