TENNESSEE (6-4, 3-3 SEC) AT MISSOURI (5-5, 1-5)

THE MATCHUP

Why is Missouri 5-5 despite having one of the SEC’s top defenses? Look no further than an offense that’s been anemic. The Tigers are last in the conference in scoring (15.2 ppg) and total offense (297.7 ypg).

Since a 24-10 win against South Carolina, Missouri’s scored three touchdowns in five games. Two of those scores came against BYU last week, though one was set up by a fumble. Freshman quarterback Drew Lock had 244 yards passing against the Cougars, far better than his 129-yard average the previous five games.
