After Week 7, the Missouri Tigers were 1-5 and it appeared coach Barry Odom was on the hot seat.

However, following a much-needed easy win over Idaho, the Tigers have rattled off five-straight victories and are now 6-5 and bowl eligible for the 2017 season.

On Saturday, the Tigers took down Vanderbilt in a windy, rainy game to clinch bowl eligibility and turn around their absolutely awful start.

The Tigers still have a great chance to make it to seven wins this year if they can beat Arkansas next week, but for now, they’ll settle for a bowl berth after trouncing the Commodores.

Here are a few things I liked, and a few things that need work, after a big win over Vandy on Saturday night:

What I liked:

Ish Witter’s senior moment

Ever since Damarea Crocektt went down with an injury, senior RB Ish Witter and freshman Larry Rountree III has come up big for the Tigers.

Witter had a couple of big runs on Saturday night, though he didn’t cross the 100-yard plateau on his 13 carries. However, he still made a big impact running for clutch first downs for the Tigers.

After a 200+-plus yard effort last weekend, Witter didn’t do quite as well against the Commodores, but he was still a huge part of Mizzou’s offensive success.

Richaud Floyd’s sideline antics

Floyd and the sideline are great friends, apparently, as he made a nice touchdown catch near the boundary and also had a punt return touchdown where he tiptoed the sideline.

Floyd’s emergence as a scoring threat has been a great thing for the Tigers, as he can take any touch he gets to the house.

Handling the weather

Not only did the Tigers handle the wet and windy conditions in Nashville, they thrived in them, scoring in all three aspects of the game.

As mentioned above, Floyd scored on a punt return, LB Brandon Lee had a pick-six and the offense took care of the other scoring. If Mizzou can be dangerous in all those areas, even in adverse conditions, it could be a serious threat in a bowl game next month.

Albert OMG

Mizzou TE Albert Okwuegbunam got back to his impressive scoring ways, catching two touchdown passes to torch the Commodores’ defense.

The redshirt freshman has been incredible for the Tigers in the red zone this season and has established himself as both a red-zone and a big-play threat.

If he can continue to play well, the Tigers’ offense will provide plenty of matchup nightmares to Arkansas and their bowl opponent.

What needs work:

The sluggish second half

The Tigers’ defense didn’t have the best performance against the Commodores’ offense in the second half, allowing 17 points.

It didn’t matter, because the Tigers took a 35-0 lead into halftime, but it’s still not the best sign when your defense starts taking entire quarters off.

Emanuel Hall’s drops

Last week, Hall dropped a couple of key passes early, but it didn’t affect the final score as the Tigers cruised to a win over Tennessee.

On Saturday night, though, he dropped a couple of catchable passes against the Commodores. Based on the way the ‘Dores played in the second half, Hall’s big plays should have iced away the game before it was ever in doubt.

Having mistakes like that will fly against teams like Tennessee and Vanderbilt, but Hall is going to need to be more sure-handed as Mizzou moves forward this season.

Drew Lock’s completion percentage

Lock only completed 10 of his 25 pass attempts on Saturday night, which is not as good as you would have hoped from one of the top quarterbacks in the country.

Yes, he still threw for three touchdowns, but that’s not a great performance from the junior quarterback, who needs to complete more passes in the future.
