I mean that's what every everyone says about every game Mizzou has lost in Odom's tenure, and SOMETIMES it's fair (Wyoming, for instance) but it wasn't fair against Vandy. They didn't get destroyed on defense and they weren't just slapdicking around on offense.
The defense played fairly well and did their level best to keep Mizzou in it. The offensive line wasn't excellent on interior running plays, but it gave Bryant plenty of time to throw and he had open guys.
No, the team wasn't 'unprepared'. They weren't getting pushed around out there. One single player undercut everything that offense was trying to do by simply ****ing refusing to do it. He wouldn't throw the goddamn ball.
I won't ask anyone to watch that game again because I can understand if you'd rather pour bleach on your eyes, but while the broadcast team kept sucking him off for his 'grittiness' and his athleticism, they sure did keep overlooking the fact that he refused to play quarterback at any point.
I don't buy the standard old "boy, we sure Odom'd that one" nonsense for a second. That was a fine plan by the coaching staff and the rest of the guys on the field played somewhere between tolerably and well - that's good enough to win against an inferior team even in SEC play.
Unless your quarterback sabotages just about everything you're trying to do on offense. Kelly Bryant was a disaster on Saturday.

We will have to agree to disagree. They looked like they had no motivation in playing this game and the fact that they had so many penalties shows a lack of discipline. That is on the coaching ....and while they did play good at times the 2 offensive TD's were on plays where everyone seemed lost and tackling was an option.
The fact is they came into the game "mailing it in"and Vandy took advantage of it. We should have done the same thing to Vandy that UNLV did the prior week. Instead people are shaking their head and saying..."see Mizzou is what we believe them to be...overrated".
I get it...you are an Odom supporter...that is fine.
I have seen enough to know MU isn't going anywhere with him as the Head Coach. We will be stuck with mediocrity.
