Despite loss to Georgia, Missouri has reason for optimism

While Georgia coach Kirby Smart was able to bask in the glory of his first SEC victory and quarterback Jacob Eason was being lauded as the conference’s next star quarterback after the true freshman led his team to a game-winning drive in the final minute on Saturday, Missouri was left wondering how it let a win slip away.

In the aftermath of a heartbreaking 28-27 home loss to the Bulldogs -- one in which Mizzou led for most of the second half -- head coach Barry Odom expressed hurt and frustration with the loss, in addition to determination to turn things around.
