No. 5 Tennessee (8-1, 4-1 SEC) will host Missouri (4-5, 2-4 SEC) Saturday in Week 11.
Kickoff between the Vols and Tigers is slated for noon EST (CBS).
Second-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel previewed the SEC East matchup Monday.
“Excited to get back to Neyland and see our fans here this Saturday,” Heupel said. “‘Salute to Service’ game. Obviously, we want to thank all of the men and women who have made so many sacrifices to give us the opportunity to do the things that we do. It’s also senior day. It’ll be a great day to recognize those guys that have meant so much and poured so much into this program.
“Obviously for me, just thinking back to when I first got here, these guys have been a huge part of laying the foundation, helping our program build extremely quickly over the last two years and building this program back to where it should be, which is competing at the highest level. Excited to celebrate that with those guys.”
Heupel’s preview of Tennessee-Missouri game week is listed below from a transcript provided by the University of Tennessee.
