Dooley, who was Tennessee’s coach from 2010-12, is in his first year as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator.
Missouri is led by its fourth-year starting quarterback, Drew Lock. He’s completed 215 of 344 passes (62.5 percent) for 2,647 yards with 21 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Lock has thrown 92 career touchdown passes – three more than Peyton Manning had in his career and good for third all-time among SEC quarterbacks.
Emanuel Hall leads Missouri with 529 receiving yards despite playing in only six games. He has 25 receptions, including four touchdowns. He returned from a groin injury two weeks ago.
Tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who leads the team with 43 receptions, did not play in Saturday’s 33-28 win over Vanderbilt because of shoulder injury.
Larry Rountree III leads the Tigers with 758 rushing yards and nine TDs on 143 carries.
Missouri’s defense is surrendering 27.6 points per game. Six opponents have scored at least 28 points against the Tigers. Linebacker Cale Garrett leads the team with 86 tackles.
Missouri leads the all-time series with Tennessee 4-2.
