Coaching
Missouri is not a great football team, but it had a ton to play for last night with all the emotional events from the past few weeks. Credit Butch Jones and the staff for keeping the team focused on the task at hand and allowing the Vols’ superior talent to win out. There was certainly some conservative playcalling, but if there’s any team in the SEC that it makes the most sense against, it’s Missouri. Field goals don’t always win games, but they did in Columbia. It hasn’t been a thing of beauty, but the Vols have their first four-game winning streak since 2010 and their most wins in a season since 2009. That’s clear progress.
