Senior DE Markus Golden
On which matchup he's looking forward to the most
“For me, I'm so competitive that I just want to play; I don't care who it's against. However, I especially love playing all of the other SEC teams, so I look forward to playing against those schools.”

On Michael Sam
“I'm very proud of Michael. In my three years at Mizzou I've always believed him to be a hard worker, and you always want to see guys like that be successful in the NFL. I'm happy for him and I hope things continue to get better for him.”

On what made the second year in the SEC so successful for Mizzou
“I think it's a mix of confidence, getting comfortable, and just believing in yourself. In the first year we had a bunch of injuries but last year we were healthy, so it's about being healthy and competing. At Mizzou, we believe we can compete against anybody, and last year that's what we were able to do. We're going to try and do the same thing this year.”
