No. 14 Missouri dominated No. 13 Tennessee 36-7 on Saturday. Tigers star running back Cody Schrader rushed for 205 yards, had a career-high 116 receiving yards and added a 7-yard touchdown run in what was the most impressive performance of his Missouri career. The transfer from Division II Truman State entered the game as the SEC's leading rusher and will likely keep that title heading into the final two weeks of the regular season. With the win, Missouri improves to 8-2 and in a good spot to earn a bid in a New Year's Six bowl berth.
Missouri pulled away with 24 points in the second half. That included a pick six when Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III telegraphed a pass to the right side and Daylan Carnell stepped in front and took it 38 yards the other way for a touchdown. It was Carnell's first interception of the year and set off a celebration in Columbia, Missouri. Quarterback Brady Cook had a 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and tossed a 21-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Luther Burden III in the fourth in what was a wildly efficient day for the veteran signal-caller.
The Tigers dominated the first half of the game as well, which included a 20-play, 72-yard drive that gobbled up 10:55 and resulted in the game's first points courtesy of a Harrison Mevis field goal. Tennessee's only touchdown came on the subsequent drive when Milton found Dont'e Thornton Jr for a 47-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
- Schrader is the first player in SEC history to have 200 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game. He is the first player in Missouri history to have 90 or more rushing and receiving yards in a game in program history, and he did it in the first half. His 321 scrimmage yards in one game is the second-most in school history behind only Devin West.
- Missouri converted 11 of its 17 third-down attempts including 7 of its 10 attempts in the first half to dominate time of possession and wear down the Volunteer defense.
- Tennessee's average third-down distance was 7.6 yards as the Volunteers converted just 5 of their 12 chances.
