Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk spoke to both the Post-Dispatch and KC Star on Wednesday. I’ll say this: he has the ability to deliver AD speak in what feels like a very candid, engaging manner.
Asked if he was concerned that Odom had lost his team, Sterk said, “No, because I see them in the locker room and in meetings. (But) somehow they lost focus between practices during the week and then the game.”
“Yeah, it’s a challenge,” he added. “I think they’ve got a lot to do. But I think the kids are behind him, and the coaches are together and they’ll develop a good game plan and I expect a heck of a lot better game this Saturday.
