If you want to be that guy who picks nits and finds a few things not to like, feel free. But I won't be. This game was over after a quarter and a half. Missouri jumped on Florida and didn't let them up. The Gators are in turmoil right now without question, but they're still pretty talented. They're still the best team Missouri plays in November.

This team has won three in a row, has played well in five in a row and has some honest to God momentum right now. They need two wins in the last three to be sure of a bowl game. They'll be favored next week. Win that and they might be favored in the last two.

The offense has turned a corner. I really believe that. Lock has gotten good, his receivers look reliable and Missouri has a running game even without its starting running back.

The defense hasn't turned a corner. But it's headed in the right direction. Much, much better today. Yes, Florida's offense sucks. You know what? So do Tennessee's and Vandy's. And Arkansas' isn't fantastic.

This is why you let a season play out. And I'm not going to tell you that Barry Odom has saved his job. Not yet. That takes another win or two. But for those who fired him three weeks ago, you were a bit premature.



Oh, by the way, Arkansas is currently losing at home 28-17 to Coastal Carolina
