Challenges for Missouri
Missouri has to pick itself up off the ground after a heartbreaking loss to Kentucky. However, stopping the prolific Tennessee offense will be the biggest challenge for the Tigers. Behind quarterback Hendon Hooker, the Vols are averaging 45 points and 523.7 yards per game. Mizzou’s tough defensive line might be able to help catch a downcast coming off its first loss UT team off balance.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the CBS Network.
