Rocky Top Rewind: Detailing Tennessee's win over Missouri with VFL Ramon Foster
Tennessee scored 38 unanswered points to blow past Missouri Saturday, 66-24. What sparked the Vols record-breaking offensive performance and how will it sit in the eyes of the College Football Playoff committee?
Former Vol Ramon Foster joined tonight’s Rocky Top Rewind to break it all down.
Vols set single-game program record with 724 yards of total offense
After Tennessee’s offense struggled at Georgia a week ago, the Vols passed for 460 yards and four touchdowns against Missouri and ran 37 times for 264 yards and five more touchdowns on the ground.
Tennessee ended the game with 38 unanswered points over the final 23 minutes, after Missouri pulled within 28-24 midway through the third quarter.
“There are some things (Missouri) had done,” Heupel said. “You look at what they’ve done over the course of the season, that’s a really good defense. One of the top ones in this conference. There are some things that they did that hurt us. There are some things that we did, too, on the offensive side of the football … we weren’t as clean as we could be in the first half, our guys don’t blink. Came back and played. I’m proud of that part of it, in particular.”
