Friday had to feel pretty good for Missouri coach Barry Odom.
Not only did his Tigers’ defeat Arkansas in the Battle Line rivalry game to finish the regular season 8-4, but the win also officially put Odom above .500 in his coaching career in Columbia.
For a coach as under fire as Odom has been this season, the win might have just placed new confidence in his ability to lead this program. Missouri did what it was supposed to: it dominated the Razorbacks in every facet of the game, earning a 38-point win and securing its first shutout of a conference foe since 2010.
