Remember when it was a realistic idea that Missouri could be 8-0 at this point in the season?
Even after a Week 1 loss to Wyoming, it was still reasonable to to think that the Tigers could be 7-1 and undefeated in Southeastern Conference play heading into a showdown with the Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia. But now we’ve gotten to Week 11, Missouri currently sits at 5-3 and is coming off its worst stretch of the season after back-to-back losses to Vanderbilt and Kentucky.
Not to mention — outside of a win over Troy earlier this season — the Tigers have not been able to get the job done coming off a bye week during head coach Barry Odom’s tenure.
