Missouri Tigers Blown Out By Tennessee Volunteers, 66-24: Live Game Updates
The 2022 college football season is getting down to the nitty-gritty here in Week 11, and the Missouri Tigers will be in the thick of it this afternoon. Mizzou will be going toe-to-toe with No. 5 Tennessee on the Volunteers' home turf, which will be no easy battle. The Vols are coming off a loss to No. 1 Georgia, so they'll be looking to right their ship, and the Tigers are going to have their hands full trying to stop them.
Volunteers quarterback Hendon Hooker is one of the nation's most prolific passers with 21 touchdowns to his name in 2022. He's the heart and soul of this Tennessee offense, so if the Tigers want to make this a game, they're going to have to contain the Vols' phenom field general.
Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz is going to have to dial up some big plays in this one. Tennessee comes in averaging over 45 points per game and even if the Vols don't hit that mark, Missouri will probably have to score more than usual to keep up.
Tennessee has plenty of talent on that side of the ball, but the Tigers have some dynamic playmakers of their own. Mizzou receiver Dominic Lovett is one of the best pass catchers in the conference and has the ability to beat any secondary given the right play call. He'll be a key player to watch in this SEC showdown.
