Missouri blew out Arkansas, 38-0, in the regular-season finale to reach the eight-win plateau for the first time since 2014. The Tigers won eight games this season, which is the most during Barry Odom’s three season as head coach.
They will still play in a bowl game, but Missouri ends the regular season 8-4.
Odom had plenty to say Friday after his team’s big victory
Odom gives a shoutout to the people that braved the weather today in the stands.

Lock told Odom after the Kentucky game that “anything other than 8-4 wouldn’t be right.”

Odom points out that there were a lot of heads scratched after he hired Dooley. Isn’t always about the deep-route with how Lock has changed as a QB even though his numbers are different.

Odom on Mizzou’s bowl appeal: “Two of our losses were to teams ranked No. 1 and 2 at the time. The other two came on the final play of the game. … We’re playing as good of football as any team in the country.”

Odom points out Mizzou has a QB that makes it an attractive bowl choice and a defense coming off a shutout.

Odom declines to compare MU’s run game to the one he played with that included Ernest Blackwell, Brock Olivo, Devin West, etc. Said the offenses were different as well as the league and team.

Odom says there are no egos or hidden agendas among his staff. “We’re all pulling the rope the same direction.”
