When the Missouri Tigers lost to Wyoming on Saturday, and probably while Mizzou was down during game play, fans wanted Odom fired, for the third straight year. While a coaching change might feel right to many, Saturday’s showing had some high points intermixed with its share of lows.
The biggest conversation piece of the off-season was how transfer quarterback Kelly Bryant’s athletic abilities would lift Mizzou’s ceiling. While he had his share of bloopers, Bryant was 31-for-48 in passing attempts for an eye-popping 423 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Bryant also netted 20 yards rushing on 11 carries, complementing running backs Tyler Badie and Larry Rountree III.
