The Missouri Tigers will need some sun block for a hot one against the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns on Saturday.

Despite the harsh weather, Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz appears to be welcoming of the adversity and the challenge against the Ragin' Cajuns.

The great ones adjust. #MIZ

This is the first time that the Tigers and the Ragin' Cajuns will face off. Louisiana dropped their season opener in a close game to Rice, but followed that with a win over McNeese State in Week 2. Their season opener saw Louisiana's starting quarterback go down with injury, meaning redshirt freshman Daniel Beale will start against Missouri.

“Unfortunate thing for Walker (Howard)," Drinkwitz said on Tuesday in the weekly press conference. "Looked like he was playing some really good ball versus Rice, and was able to really throw the ball well and tuck it and run. They've been able to keep a similar style offense. I think the quarterback throws it pretty well. They have utilized some wildcat, I think to try to take the hits off him. But, he's been around, he understands their offense."

Even with there being a sell-out for the Tigers and Ragin' Cajuns, the crowd may not be as energetic or full as it was against Kansas due to the high temperature and the kickoff time being moved up by three hours.

“Just want to again say how much I appreciate the fans and the environment that was created on Saturday (against Kansas)," Drinkwitz said. "The electric atmosphere for all four quarters, I thought  was really cool. And really the challenge for our fans and for our students, and for everybody associated with the program, is to keep that same energy level, same passion and enthusiasm for all of our home games, recreate that home field advantage."

This play was originally called a fumble that was returned for a touchdown by Louisiana, but the call was overturned and ruled a touchdown after video review. Wide receiver Marquis Johnson just barely got the ball in the end zone and held onto it long enough for it to be overturned from a fumble.
