DeMarkus Acy claims he didn’t know what he was doing. His teammates suggest otherwise.
In Missouri’s 50-17 win over Tennessee on Saturday, Acy alone stole the Vols’ momentum that the Tigers kept the rest of the game.
With Tennessee driving down field late in the first half, Acy picked off backup quarterback Keller Chryst at the Tigers’ 13-yard line and returned it 76-yards to the Vols’ 11. Missouri scored a few plays later to extend its lead to 26-10 and give the Tigers all the breathing room they’d need.
The interception was the first of two in the game for Acy, who became the first MU player with two picks in a game since John Gibson had two against Florida in 2016.
