New Missouri football coach Barry Odom visited the Post-Dispatch Wednesday for a series of interviews as part of a media tour of the city. A few news items from his visit:
• Quarterback Maty Mauk has been reinstated from his suspension and Odom expects him to be part of the team when classes resume next semester. Drew Lock will open spring practices as the No. 1 quarterback. Lock started the final eight games of the 2015 season after Mauk was suspended.
“We met and I spent some time with (Mauk) not too long ago,” Odom said.
