It was a reality check for Tennessee football. The Vols still have a long way to go to get where they need to be, as they lost in a blowout 50-17 to the Missouri Tigers. With the win, Mizzou moved to 7-4 on the season while UT fell to 5-6.
Jeremy Pruitt’s team allowed a team to score 50 on them for the first time all season. His kids will need to win their final regular season game against the Vanderbilt Commodores on the road in order to reach bowl eligibility.
Although this was not the way to go out on Senior Day, it’s important to note that the Vols were always going to have plenty of work to do this season.
