Tennessee made a statement on Saturday, putting a full game together to crush the Missouri Tigers 62-24. It was an elite rushing performance for Tennessee, which took full advantage of the soft Missouri run defense to run for 458 yards yards.
It was a key ‘swing game’ win for Josh Heupel, and the Volunteers have a chance to build on that performance for another win next weekend. Tennessee will welcome South Carolina to town on Saturday, looking to improve to 4-2 on the year.
Following their offensive outburst, Tennessee has been installed as a 12 point favorite over South Carolina.
