COLUMBIA, Mo. – Tennessee knew it would be in a grind-it-out kind of football game at Missouri against one of the SEC’s stingiest defenses.
Everything about how the Volunteers won fit that description.
In spoiling Tigers head coach Gary Pinkel’s home finale, Tennessee used its ground game and defense to notch a 19-8 SEC victory in sub-freezing temperatures Saturday night at Missouri’s Faurot Field.
“Any win’s a great win,” quarterback Josh Dobbs said. “It’s our first time beating Missouri. We remember the feeling coming out of here two years ago when we lost (31-3) in my first start.
“It’s great to come back to Columbia and get the victory.”
