2015 was an odd year for Missouri football. It had a little bit of everything — and hardly any of it was good.

There was Maty Mauk’s suspension, un-suspension and then re-suspension. There was a near-boycott from the players because of racial issues on campus, and finally, coach Gary Pinkel retired due to cancer.

Still, the team finished 5-7 and actually turned down the chance to play in a bowl game. So, as new coach Barry Odom tries to take the program forward, let’s go down the roster, position by position, and have a look at the 2015 team:

QUARTERBACKS

Mauk began the season at the controls of the Missouri offense, and was very ordinary (654 yards, six touchdowns, four interceptions and a 51.8 percent completion rate) as the Tigers started 3-1. He was then suspended for a violation of team rules, and didn’t throw another pass. Into the breach stepped true freshman Drew Lock. Lock wasn’t quite ready for prime time, topping 150 yards just twice in eight games and throwing twice as many interceptions (8) as touchdowns on the season.

Grade: F

RUNNING BACKS

Russell Hansbrough topped 1,000 yards and scored 10 TDs as a junior, but nagging injuries, inconsistent QB play and a reshuffled offensive line combined to keep him to less than half that total (436 yards and 1 score) in 2015. Sophomore Ish Witter led the team with 518 yards rushing for a team that was last in the SEC — and 120th in the nation — in rushing yardage.

Grade: D-

RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS

The Tigers were 13th in the SEC in passing, so it figures that the receivers didn’t post great numbers. The combination of poor protection and weak QB play didn’t help a woeful receiver corps that didn’t get open or make plays. J’Mon Moore, Nate Brown and Wesley Leftwich combined for 78 catches and eight of the team’s 10 TDs.

Grade: D

OFFENSIVE LINE

After a decent showing in 2014, this unit returned 97 career starts this fall. All of that experience couldn’t prevent a dramatic drop in production. Outgoing OL coach A.J. Ricker shuffled the deck all season looking for the right combination, but never quite found it. The offense ranked 125th nationally and was also 127th in scoring offense. And advanced metrics suggest that the offensive line was a big part of those issues.

Grade: F

DEFENSIVE LINE

As poor as the offense was, the Missouri defense was, statistically speaking, one of the SEC’s best under Odom. Charles Harris and Walter Brady had seven sacks each for the Tigers, and Harris tied for first in the league with 18.5 tackles for loss. The line accounted for 20 of the team’s 27 sacks, and helped Missouri finish second in the league in scoring defense and fourth in total defense.

Grade: A

LINEBACKERS

Kentrell Brothers led the nation with an eye-popping 152 tackles. Even with that inflated total, fellow backer Michael Scherer managed to make 93 of his own, good for 12th in the league. Donavin Newsome was fourth on the team with 63 tackles, rounding out an impressive unit.

Grade: A

SECONDARY

This unit ranked toward the bottom in the league in interceptions, passes defended and passes broken up — and allowed opponents to complete passes at a 62 percent clip. Still, safeties Anthony Sherrils and Aarion both ranked in the top five on the team with tackles while cornerbacks Ian Simon and Kenya Dennis combined to pick off three passes on the season.

Grade: C-

SPECIAL TEAMS

Corey Fatony led the league with 81 punts, but was in the middle of the pack with a 42.9-yard average. Andrew Baggett was one of the league’s most reliable kickers, nailing 16 of his 20 field goal attempts and all 15 of his extra points. Missouri was fourth in defending punt returns, but last in the league in covering kickoffs (26.5 yards per return).

Grade: B-
