COLUMBIA — Tennessee may have a 17-10 lead on the road in a Southeastern Conference game at Missouri, but the Tigers did score its first touchdown since their loss at Kentucky, so the Volunteers are in for a dogfight.
A slow start and an early 3-0 deficit didn’t make the Vols hang their heads.
Inability to consistently run the ball may be problematic for the Big Orange.
A touchdown run from Quavarius Crouch and a touchdown pass from Jarrett Guarantano to Jauan Jennings have Tennessee on top.
Brent Cimaglia kicked a 27-yard field goal on the final play of the second quarter, but the normally dependable Tennessee placekicker had a field goal attempt blocked on Tennessee’s second possession.
Tyler Badie, a Memphis native, caught a touchdown pass from Kelly Bryant and Tucker McCann has a field goal for the Tigers, who get the ball to start the second half.
