Barry Odom was proud to see Missouri’s response following its tough last-second loss against Kentucky last week.

The Tigers came out and controlled the Florida game early, and pulled away for a 38-17 win as QB Drew Lock had touchdown throws to Albert Okwuegbunam, Kam Scott and Emanuel Hall to improve to 5-4 and 1-4 in the SEC.

It continued a strong effort by Missouri against Florida. The Tigers have won four of the last six meetings.

Missouri will have a chance at bowl eligibility next week when it hosts Vanderbilt.
