KNOXVILLE, Tenn. • Two back-breaking plays on defense. A helping of Drew Lock. Three servings of Tucker McCann. And one giant heap of Larry Rountree.
Mix it together and let it simmer for three hours and you’ve got Missouri’s latest victory, the Tigers’ ninth in 11 November games under Barry Odom, this one a 50-17 masterpiece against Tennessee at Neyland Stadium, the same score as last year's game in Columbia.
The Volunteers (5-6, 2-5) came into their home finale as perhaps the most improved team in the Southeastern Conference. Missouri (7-4, 3-4) might command that title now with their third straight win.
