Tennessee football: Missouri a much tougher opponent for Vols than Kentucky

There is plenty of reason for Tennessee football fans to be excited about the state of the program after such a huge win over the Kentucky Wildcats last week. It’s the Vols’ second win over a Top 25 program this season under first-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt.

And with a 5-5 record now, Rocky Top is filled with excitement about the chance to reach a bowl game. However, it’s time to pump the brakes a bit. The Vols have a much tougher opponent heading to Knoxville this weekend than what they faced last Saturday.

Missouri does come to Knoxville with a 6-4 record, and they’re unranked.
