Cale Garrett’s latest SEC Defensive Player of the Week award — his second this season —stings knowing it very well could be the final accolade of his Missouri football career.
As fans deal with the fallout and speculation of what the senior linebacker’s loss might mean for the Tigers, the season chugs along. Barry Odom has made it abundantly clear that no other teams feel sorry for Missouri when injuries arise. Pretty much every team in the SEC East has had them. It’s a “next-man-up” mentality for the Tigers, and homecoming provides the perfect stage to prove that there is life after Garrett.
