COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri’s final offensive play of the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 told the story of the Tigers’ 2018 season.
Drew Lock and Larry Rountree did spectacular things to guide the Tigers in position to complete an inspiring comeback … and give Barry Odom his first bowl victory … and keep the Tigers safely in the top 25 … and maintain two months of momentum into the offseason.
Instead, the rally came up empty as Lock scrambled and skidded to the sideline short of the first-down marker. Oklahoma State players and fans celebrated nearby with Lock sprawled on the turf, his season and college career over.
