Tennessee leads the NCAA in kickoff return average (38.8). Evan Berry is the nation's top kickoff returner with an average of 40.6.

Berry is one of two players in the nation with three kickoff returns for touchdown (vs. Western Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky) His 35.7 career kickoff return average is No. 1 in UT history. With three kickoff return touchdowns, Berry has tied Willie Gault's 1980 Tennessee record for most kickoff returns for scores in a season.

Cameron Sutton is third in the NCAA punt return average (18.9).

After not accomplishing the feat of having a kickoff return and punt return for TD in the same game since 1950, UT has done it twice this season (vs. WCU and at Kentucky).

The Vols have a modern program history record five special teams touchdowns (three kickoff-return TDs, two punt-return TDs).

Trevor Daniel is seventh in the NCAA and second in the SEC in punting average at 45.7. Of Daniel's 48 punts, 17 went 50-plus yards and 19 have landed inside the 20-yard line.

is bowl eligible for the second year in a row, marking the first time since the 2009 and 2010 seasons it will go to consecutive bowls

Butch Jones has led the Vols to consecutive bowls under the same head coach for the first time since 2006-07 (Phillip Fulmer).

The Vols became bowl eligible at the earliest date (Nov. 14) since the 2007 season (Nov. 3).

The Vols are riding a three-game win streak, their longest streak in a single-season since 2010 (four).

In Joshua Dobbs' last 16 starts, the Vols are 11-5, averaging 34.5 points, 424 yards/game.

Tennessee has 2,103 rushing yards in 10 games (with six games of 200-plus yards), surpassing last year's 13-game total of 1,903.

The Vols are sixth in the NCAA and second in the SEC in third-down percentage defense, allowing just 28.3 pct.

The Vols' four losses have come by a total of 17 points to teams with a combined record of 33-7 (.825), including three teams with a record of 9-1 (Okla., Florida, Alabama).

• The Vols are seeking their first-ever win against Missouri, losing all three meetings since the Tigers joined the SEC in 2012.

• Tennessee and Missouri are tied for the most overtime victories in NCAA FBS history with most teams standing at 11-5 all-time, since overtime was introduced in 1995.

• Appropriately, the first meeting between the teams went to overtime with Missouri winning a 51-48 four-overtime game on Nov. 10, 2012.

• Tennessee lost their only game at Missouri, 31-3, on Nov. 2, 2013, which was Joshua Dobbs' first college start at quarterback, as he threw for 240 yards and ran for 45.

• The Vols are 8-5-1 all-time on Nov. 21, winning their last four games on that date, dating to 1987.

• A Tennessee win would give the Vols their seventh win in the regular-season for the first time since the 2009 season.

[UT_Dutchman]

Good information and it's gameday so Go Vols!

 

[DD4ME]

Dobbs has only lost one game (UF) when rushing for 40 something yards.

I felt compelled.

 

[TheBigOne10]

I've been waiting for this one all year long. We owe them such a beating. I will relish in it.

 

[FooleyforDooley]

I am nervous about this one. Tennessee needs to end the the losing streak to Missouri because it will get them a win and the confidence to spank Candy!
17-13 Vols

Unfortunately, I feel the same way about Mizzou as I do about Florida. I have to see it before I believe it. Mizzou in an ugly soul crushing defeat. Much like the Arkansas game.

[Titan&Volfan4life]

Beat Mizzou and put those crybabies in serious Misery!

Columbia, Misery...Where crybabies love to try to become national drama queens.

I'm sorry for the Misery Head Coach and I hope he returns to good health but his last home game needs to be a LOSS to our Tennessee footVol team tonight!
