2622868, Watching Mizzou and focusing on the defense for the first time

I'm a Mizzou fan and mostly notice the offense, but after watching this game it's clear how poorly disciplined this defense is.
Plenty of missed tackles. Giving up chunk plays. For example, after giving up a 40 yard TD off of a bubble screen (which was called back because of a hold), the defense gives up a TD on the same basic call, just on the other half of the field.
Mind you, this is after Odom fired the DC last Monday. That was controversial because while the former DC obviously collaborated with Odom on the calls, Odom was calling the defense this year and had been since last year.
It's odd that the defense is struggling so much given that the defense was pretty stout when Odom was the DC under Pinkel.
