This will be a pivotal year for the Tigers and Barry Odom. This isn’t much of a rebuilding year as almost all the starting offense is returning with more experience under their belt and are hungry to win.
If the Tigers don’t win at least six games this year and make a bowl game, then this season will be considered a failure, and Odom’s coaching seat will certainly start getting hot.
The biggest reason for the Tigers to do well is from a recruiting standpoint; the stacked class of 2018 that Mizzou is trying to sway into committing.
