The No. 21 Tennessee Volunteers (2-0) came into its matchup with the Missouri Tigers (0-2) as (+11.5) favorites, so it was important that Jeremy Pruitt’s team came away with a big win.
Tennessee did just that. A dominant first half —as well as other key contributions— helped the Vols get to 2-0 on the season and helped them get their second straight win over the Tigers.
The Vols needed to come out of the gate strong, and boy, did they do just that on their first drive of the game. Jim Chaney used an up-tempo offense to help keep Missouri off balance and it worked, but the key to the drive was not one but TWO 4th and 1 conversions, one coming from UT’s own 35-yard line.
