It’s been a long tough year for Mizzou already.

The Tigers lost a close one to Kentucky Saturday night 40-34, and this one will sting for a while for sure.

Missouri drops to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in the SEC, and it’s worth wondering when the Tigers will win again.

Barry Odom met with reporters after the game:

  • What a great environment to play in.
  • Proud of the way the offense made big plays and kept responding.
  • Defensively, those guys did an outstanding job in some of the situations we put them in.
  • That’s life in this league and that’s the way it is.
  • We have to build off of this and learn from our mistakes.
  • I’m hurt for our guys, and this will sting for a little while.
  • A lot of time between two plays, and I did not get an explanation from the officials on the last play of the game. I look forward to seeing the tape.
  • We had a lot of freshmen playing tonight, and that’s not going to change.
  • I know what this team needs. We’re close. We have to find a way to break down that wall.
  • We wanted to try and establish the run. I still have confidence in winning the line of scrimmage on the offensive line.
