This marks the first time since 1995 that the Volunteers have scored 40-plus points in three consecutive games.The Vols won despite allowing 740 yards in total offense, the highest single-game total ever by a Tennessee opponent. Troy gained 721 yards in a 55-48 loss to Tennessee in 2012.Damarea Crockett rushed for 225 yards and Ish Witter gained 163 yards to lead a 420-yard rushing attack for Missouri (3-8, 1-6). The Tigers gained 600-plus total yards for the fourth time this season.Offensively thats a pretty good day, Missouri coach Barry Odom said. I didnt have enough answers defensively to put us there to win it.Crockett had the second-highest single-game rushing total ever by a Tennessee opponent. Mississippis Dexter McCluster rushed for 282 yards against Tennessee in 2009.Tennessees John Kelly rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown. Alvin Kamara ran for 55 yards and two scores.The Vols were clinging to a 35-30 lead when Dobbs made a move around Missouris Thomas Wilson at the line of scrimmage and raced for a 70-yard touchdown with 13:20 remaining.

I just heard about it after the game. Thats something we werent worried about throughout the course of the game.THE TAKEAWAYMissouri: The Tigers season-long kicking woes hurt them again Saturday.Missouri missed an extra-point attempt for the fifth time this season at the end of the Tigers first series. Missouri also had gone 5 of 12 on field-goal attempts this season before Saturday.The Tigers kicking game has struggled so much that they decided to go for it rather than attempting a field goal while facing fourth-and-12 from the Tennessee 20 early in the second quarter. After Missouri was penalized for a false start, the Tigers still kept their offense on the field to try converting the first down on fourth-and-17 from the 25. The drive ended with an incomplete pass.Tennessee: The Vols defense remains extremely vulnerable, particularly against the run. Missouri put up huge numbers against Tennessee one week after the Vols allowed 443 yards rushing in a 49-36 victory over Kentucky. Tennessee also gave up 353 yards rushing to Texas A&M and 409 to Alabama this season.UP NEXTMissouri hosts Arkansas on Friday.Tennessee is at Vanderbilt on Saturday.
