Mizzou football hopes to get better version of Albert O

On the final attempt for the Mizzou football team to win Saturday, quarterback Kelly Bryant chose to throw the ball to receiver Johnathon Johnson down the middle.

The pass fell incomplete, and Mizzou tight end Albert Okwuegbunam was visibly upset. He appeared to be more open than Johnson.

On Tuesday, Mizzou football coach Barry Odom said he expects more out of their star tight end moving forward.

“We need consistency out of Albert and all the all the guys at that position. But Albert hadn’t practiced a lot. You know, he didn’t practice all spring really and very little in fall camp.
