Missouri’s Barry Odom on positive momentum: ‘We’ll use it’

Missouri finally notched its first SEC win of the season and did so in dominant fashion against Florida.

The Tigers raced out to a 28-6 halftime lead over the Gators and never looked back while getting the win 45-16. Tigers QB Drew Lock threw for 228 yards and 3 TDs while the offense racked up 455 total yards.

The ground game for Missouri also clicked all afternoon long with Ish Witter and Larry Rountree III both finishing with 83 yards rushing. The freshman Rountree was the big story with three rushing touchdowns.

It was a great first SEC win of the season for Missouri, and here is what head coach Barry Odom had to say following the victory:
