Missouri tight end Albert Okwuegbunam gets tackled after catching the ball against West Virginia on Sept. 7 at Memorial Stadium. Okwuegbunam had two touchdowns for the game.
Daniel Shular/MissourianConfusion was cast around tight end Albert Okwuegbunam when broadcasters claimed that coach Barry Odom had said Okwuegbunam was not in great shape. Tuesday, Odom cleared the air, deeming it inaccurate.
“I mean (Okwuegbunam’s) in as good a shape as he's ever been,” Odom said.
Okwuegbunam has not been involved much in Missouri’s past two games, tallying just two catches against Vanderbilt and none against Kentucky.
