COLUMBIA, Mo. - Barry Odom was curious. How would his team respond to the first sign of trouble in a Southeastern Conference game? His offense had plenty of chances to fold Saturday against South Carolina.
That was just the first half. Unlike so many games we’ve seen this team play in recent years — including the Week 1 loss at Wyoming — the Tigers wobbled but never toppled over. A lot of things went well for Missouri in the 34-14 win, but that might have been the most positive sign.
“They kept battling and they kept coming,” Odom said.
