COLUMBIA, MO. • Some quick hits from Mizzou’s Monday media session …
• Barry Odom will continue to call the defense this week against South Carolina. The staff has essentially gone back to the 2015 scheme. No more pre-snap reads of the offensive formation by the defensive linemen. Instead, they focus on the ball and fire off the snap, D-tackle Rickey Hatley said.
“Real basic defense, man,” Hatley said. “Just one call and make it work. … I just get the call, get down and ball.”
• Odom is careful not to criticize his staff, especially coordinator and linebackers coach DeMontie Cross.
