Tennessee staff talks Missouri’s improved defense

Tennessee is looking for a bounceback game, coming off of a disappointing performance against No. 1 Georgia. The Volunteers were hit in the mouth, and for the first time all season long, couldn’t really get back up. The Bulldogs played as advertised — physical and absolutely dominant on defense.

The Volunteers scored a season-low 13 points against Georgia, never finding any sort of groove. Pre-snap penalties, pressure and just flat out elite man coverage were too much for Tennessee to overcome.

Tennessee gets to come back home this week, set to host the Missouri Tigers.
