Eli Drinkwitz and Mizzou have an opportunity on Saturday to knock Oklahoma out of the running for a College Football Playoff berth, a week after the Sooners’ massive win at Alabama vaulted them back into the discussion for a spot in the 12-team field.
The Tigers, unranked in the CFP Top 25, have been without quarterback Beau Pribula since Oct. 25, when the quarterback suffered an ankle injury against Vanderbilt and needed to be carted off the field. But on Sunday, CBSSports.com’s Matt Zenitz on Sunday reported on “early optimism” over the signal caller’s return to the lineup in Norman against the Sooners.
Drinkwitz, who gave an update on Pribula on Tuesday, didn’t hide his annoyance with Sunday’s reporting.
“He has been allowed to practice with certain limitations, which is why he appeared on the SEC availability report last week, and why you saw him on Saturday in pregame warm-up,” Eli Drinkwitz said, via a video posted by KMIZ-TV’s Nathalie Jones. “We will see how he progresses this week, and you will be updated on the SEC media report. or by apparently now Matt Zenitz or Pete Thamel’s tweets.”
#Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz gave us an update on QB Beau Pribula's status. Right now, Drink says that Beau is going through the rehab & has been able to practice (limited). He later added that he does anticipate freshman QB Matt Zollers to start this week against Oklahoma. pic.twitter.com/CTJl6I7bYE
— Nathalie Jones (@NathalieABC17) November 18, 2025Drinkwitz noted that while Matt Zollers “has been awesome” in relief of Pribula and “played a heck of a game” against Mississippi State in a 49-27 win, there’s no risk of him ultimately usurping Pribula for the QB1 job.
“We don’t have a Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady thing here brewing yet,” he said.
The “anticipation” on Drinkwitz’s end, then, is that Zollers will start against Oklahoma despite the progression of Pribula. But the Tigers’ head coach took one final dig before moving on.
“If something changes, log on to Twitter. Get your news there first,” he said.
