Tennessee would have liked to seal up a bowl appearance on Saturday. While the Missouri Tigers were understandably favored, the Volunteers had a good idea of what they would be facing when the Tigers rolled into Neyland Stadium.
Unfortunately that did not mean much on their way to a 50-17 loss. It is understandable why the final result scares many fans who thought the team was making progress. Now the only remaining contest is the Vanderbilt Commodores, who are not the doormat they once were. Was the Missouri game a sign of things to come?
