NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Missouri coach Barry Odom is going to see yellow flags in his sleep. That’s assuming he’ll get any sleep after Saturday’s debacle at Vanderbilt.

The Tigers committed a season-high 12 penalties for 120 yards in their 21-14 loss, including five 15-yarders for personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct. A week earlier, against Mississippi, Mizzou seemed to get a handle on its penalty problem, drawing just two flags in a victory. The Tigers relapsed in Nashville.

The Tigers were flagged six times on offense for 50 yards, including an intentional grounding penalty on quarterback Kelly Bryant and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on tight end Albert Okwuegbunam for taunting a Vandy defender after catching a touchdown pass.
