AT FIRST GLANCE THE MISSOURI GAME

¢ Saturday marks the second meeting between Tennessee and Missouri, with the Tigers winning the inaugural matchup in Knoxville last season 51-48 in four overtimes. ¢ Saturday’s game marks the first-ever game for UT in the state of Missouri. The Vols are playing in two new states (Oregon) for the first time in program history. Missouri is the 23rd state the Vols have played in. ¢ Missouri and Tennessee are the top two in college football history in overtime wins. Missouri (11-5) leads the country in OT wins, the Vols (10-4) are second. ¢ True freshman Joshua Dobbs will make his first career start at Missouri (more on Dobb’s start on pg. 6)

SCHEDULE NOTES

¢ The Vols’ 2013 schedule is among the most challenging schedules in the nation and in school history. ¢ Tennessee has played five ranked teams this season, and the next two scheduled games are vs. ranked opponents (#10 Missouri, #8 Auburn). ¢ The win over #11 So. Carolina (Oct. 19) snapped a 19-game losing streak to ranked teams dating to 2009. ¢ The game vs. Missouri marks the second time in school history and the first since 2005 that Tennessee has played four ranked teams on the road in a season, all consecutively (#6 Florida, #4 LSU, #5 Alabama, #8 Notre Dame). ¢ Including the Missouri game, Tennessee has played seven of its last eight road games vs. ranked teams since Sept. 29, 2012 at Georgia. ¢ According to the NCAA, the Vols have played the third-toughest schedule in terms of opposition winning pct. to date at .721 (31-12) behind Purdue (.735) and Utah (.727).

LOOKING AHEAD...

¢ If Auburn remains ranked next week, UT will play seven ranked opponents during the regular season for the first time in school history and five consecutive ranked opponents for the first time since 1991. ¢ In 1991, UT played six ranked teams in the regular season (#21 UCLA, #23 Mississippi St., #13 Auburn, at #10 Florida, at #14 Alabama, at #5 Notre Dame). UT also played #6 Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl that season. ¢ According to Stats, Inc., the 2013 Tennessee Vols would be the first team since Pitt in 1993 to play seven ranked teams in an eight-game stretch. ¢ If Auburn remains in the top 10 next week, UT will tie the school record for the most top 10 opponents in a single season with five. The only other occurance of this in school history was in 2005 (at #6 Florida, at #4 LSU, #5 Georgia, at #5 Alabama, at #8 Notre Dame).

A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...

Snap an 18-game losing streak to ranked teams on the road (excluding neutral sites) since a 51-33 win at #10 Georgia on Oct. 7, 2006.

Earlier this season, So. Carolina was ranked No. 9 in the Coaches Poll when the Vols beat SC (23-21).
