M-I-Z...

The Tennessee Volunteers are better than you probably think ... but they weren't last week. Can Mizzou give its bowl hopes a serious shot in the arm and all but finish off the Derek Dooley era in Knoxville?

Tennessee's defense is falling apart, but damn, is that offense scary.

A brief (for Bill C.) look at Tennessee's storied and sporadic football program.

Vols can get beat deep, James Franklin wants to be the short-yardage guy, Evan Boehm is a quick learner, and Mizzou's backcourt could be gooooooooooood.

Reason to hope, reason to doubt.

Tennessee's offense is excellent, James Franklin is growing callouses, Mike Dixon is still suspended, and Frank Haith's got options in the post.

The stats that mattered from Mizzou's tight loss at Florida.

As we always say, injuries hurt in the present tense and help in the future tense.
