What Barry Odom had to say following Missouri’s opening season win

Missouri coach Barry Odom reviewed his team’s season-opening 72-43 victory over Missouri State.

The Tigers’ defense will likely be a major point of discussion entering Missouri’s game next week against South Carolina. The Tigers gave up an amazing 492 total yards and 48 points to an FCS team.

Odom, the program’s former defensive coordinator, has to get it fixed and fast. The Gamecocks will bring a very good offense to Columbia next Saturday.

Odom on McCann's early struggles: We can't go down that road. We don't have time for that.
