Having nine wins is a big deal. It shows clear progress from 7-6 a season ago. Since 2000, Mizzou has averaged 7.3 wins per season. This would be Mizzou’s third-best season since 2011. And Odom has a willing and hungry Drew Lock at quarterback. Maximize him.
Odom’s team was suffocated in the bowl game last year. It was a womp-womp way to end the season, after that jaw-dropping, job-saving comeback Odom had. Now his 2018 team is 8-4, coming off another Big 12-like offensive performance, so here’s Mizzou’s chance to prove it can play any way necessary to win a big game.
