KNOXVILLE – The Missouri offense begins with quarterback Drew Lock.
But it doesn’t end there.
Tennessee’s challenge this week will be slowing the Tigers offense, which while being spearheaded by Lock also has been effective in the run game. The Tigers rank third in the Southeastern Conference in total offense, averaging 473.4 yards per game, although that’s dipped by almost 90 yards in league play.
Missouri’s 26.5 points per game against SEC competition rank fourth in the league, trailing only Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
The offense is directed by former Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley, in his first season as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator.
