Missouri takes big hit losing Elliott, Okwuegbunam, Colon-Castillo

The losses — and not game losses — keep piling up for the Missouri football program.

It started when the NCAA announced it was denying the school’s appeal on sanctions on Nov. 26. With no possible bowl game to play for, Missouri managed to beat Arkansas on Friday to finish the season with a 6-6 record, but another loss came Saturday morning when head coach Barry Odom was fired after just his fourth season on the job.

Then, in three consecutive days to begin this week, the Tigers lost three of their most important players on either side of the ball.
