The past few years Mizzou has seen incredible production from its defense, specifically the defensive line. Missouri fans have come to expect double digit sacks and constant pressure forcing opposing offenses to turn the ball over. The departure of Dave Steckel was met with natural trepidation when new defensive coordinator Barry Odom was hired from Memphis. You don't mess with a good thing, right?
Lost in the discussion about whether Barry Odom would install a 3-4 defense was the talk about how Mizzou could replace the production of last year's Golden Ray combo.
