Just a week after putting up 212 yards rushing against a pretty good Kentucky defense, Tennessee followed up that performance with just 82 yards on the ground Saturday against Missouri. And to be honest, a good chunk of that came on the final drive in garbage time with the Vols down by 33 points.
The offensive line reverted back to their Charlotte game performance, seemingly incapable of blocking anything with any consistency. That’s been a familiar theme of the season, but the frustrating part is that we’ve seen this group play well in stretches. It certainly wasn’t happening on Saturday, however.
