Barry Odom is preparing for a critical third season as Missouri’s football coach, and his boss, athletic director Jim Sterk, is ready to see the Tigers put up a strong showing against a difficult schedule, which includes defending national champion Alabama.
“I don’t see anybody on the schedule that we can’t compete with, or that we can’t score with,” Sterk said earlier this week at a fundraiser in St. Louis. “It’ll be fun to see the SEC touchdown leader return and have a lot of his linemen up front return.”
That touchdown leader would be MU quarterback Drew Lock, who likes the same Columbia Italian joint as Sterk.
