Published:
Brad Nessler says that this week against Missouri is a must-win for Tennessee to stay alive in the SEC East title race.
Nessler had this to say about the Volunteers matchup with Missouri this Saturday.
“I think it’s a really even matchup,” Nessler said. “Going into the season everybody expected Tennessee to be way above Missouri… and it hasn’t been that way.”
