Missouri Tigers

Missouri 26 – Vanderbilt 17

Good for Missouri and Barry Odom. The Tigers were able to get their first SEC football win with Barry Odom as coach. It may have been a rough season, but this was a nice way to spend November.

The Tigers aren’t going to make any crazy final flurry, but an SEC win was huge in boosting next year’s potential for Odom.

Impact Moving Forward

-The monkey is off the back

Look, I know Vanderbilt isn’t a huge win. The Commodores did beat Georgia, though, so let’s not pretend like the Commodores are nobody. In this wild year of SEC Football, this game fits well. Vandy was expected to win and gain momentum. Missouri was expected to lose, point blank.

Instead, Vandy lost momentum and has some soul searching to do. Missouri has a happy head coach with his first SEC football win.

Little has gone to plan this year for SEC football, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
