When the Missouri Tigers joined the SEC in 2012, nobody foresaw Tennessee football losing five of seven to them. But that’s been the case, and their last two games against them have both been 50-17 losses. Their first loss to them in 2012 got Derek Dooley fired, even if it didn’t happen until the next week. Butch Jones was fired the next day in 2017.
Anyway, Rocky Top is 1-2 in Columbia, Mo. They’ll be looking to move to .500 there when the two schools face off on Saturday. And the good news for Rocky Top is that they are in a similar position to the last time they won there.
