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.

Odom, on Lock, said the play that's ingrained in his mind is the third down scramble that continued a drive in the second half.
