Six years to the date that reports surfaced of his firing at Tennessee, Missouri offensive coordinator Derek Dooley got his justice.
The Tigers dominated the Vols 50-17 in a game where Drew Lock threw completions to 10 different receivers and got support from the run game and defense in Dooley’s return to Neyland Stadium.
Lock competed 70 percent of his passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns. Tailback Larry Rountree ran for 135 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries.
Missouri got things going early. Lock found Emanuel Hall for a 30-yard gain on the third play of the game to get Mizzou to the Vols’ 30-yard line after a pair of runs by Rountree.
