Watch Coach Odom's Press Conference
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Football and head coach Barry Odom had the first of their weekly Monday press conference at the Mizzou Athletic Training Complex today. Coach Odom unveiled the depth chart to more than 50 members of the media inside a packed Onofrio Room before previewing Saturday's contest at West Virginia.
Odom talked about sophomore QB Drew Lock growing as a leader and highlighted that DE Charles Harris looks like a different player this year - in a good way. He also lauded the work ethic of walk-ons Jordan Harold and Tyler Hanneke, both of whom figure to be impact players for Mizzou this season.
