COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Missouri’s 1-5 start to the season put coach Barry Odom and the Tigers under fire. And if that wasn’t already evident, Odom made it clear last Sunday.
During a team meeting, the second-year coach took game statistics from Missouri’s losses, among other items, and set them on fire.
Missouri players said Odom’s message was to erase the first six games from their memories and start clean for the second half of the season. The new slate begins with Idaho (2-4) at home on Saturday.
The Vandals provide a sense of relief for Missouri’s offense. Idaho’s defense doesn’t compare to Southeastern Conference defenses such as Auburn and Georgia that the Tigers have faced recently.
Kickoff at Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday’s game can be seen on the SEC Network.
