In Year Three under Barry Odom, Mizzou football is a living, breathing Rorschach test, more about perception and the eye of the beholder than any one truth.

While the view here is that Odom is moving this in the right direction, the most recent exercise in point was MU’s 43-29 loss to No. 2 Georgia on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

The Tigers were absolutely athletically competitive with the Bulldogs but ultimately let the game drizzle through their hands with blunders — including two that became non-offensive touchdowns that effectively flipped the game.

(Speaking of depends on your point of view, it didn’t help that it looked like Tucker McCann’s 41-yard field goal was good and that Georgia’s Jeremiah Holloman may have dropped the ball before he got in the end zone, but we digress …)
