A 19-8 score is exactly what you would expect from even the best of the best in college football if they traveled to Columbia to play the Missouri Tigers given the current circumstances.
The emotions of Gary Pinkel’s retirement combined with the turmoil on campus along with the team’s desperation to become bowl eligible compounded with the cold weather Saturday would make for an ugly game.
So Butch Jones and the Tennessee Vols should make no apologies for how they fared in their victory to move to 7-4 on the year and 4-3 in the conference.
The Tigers, now 5-6 and 1-6 in the conference, are a very dangerous football team who can give anybody trouble despite what their record shows.
