COLUMBIA, MO. • In the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s unfathomable collapse against Kentucky, Missouri coach Barry Odom and his players struggled to explain what just happened on Faurot Field, much less make sense of what’s to come for the Tigers.
Saturday’s 15-14 loss left Mizzou winless in Southeastern Conference play at 0-4 and 4-4 overall with four games to play.
The directive for this season has always been about making progress and taking the program further than last season, when the Tigers ended a two-year bowl drought and finished 7-5 in the regular season, followed by a loss to Texas in the Texas Bowl.
