Tennessee will take on Missouri in a critical SEC East game with two new, young starters.
True freshman safety Nigel Warrior will fill in for the injured Todd Kelly Jr., while injuries to offensive guards Dylan Wiesman and Jack Jones have forced redshirt freshman Venzell Boulware into action at offensive guard.

Warrior has seen action in four games this season, recording 15 total tackles in his first college season. Boulware, meanwhile, has made one start this year while appearing in five games.
The Volunteers need to beat the Tigers to stay alive in the SEC East race. However, Florida needs to lose at LSU (that game is currently tied 10-10 in the fourth quarter) for that scenario to play out.
No. 19 Tennessee (7-3, 3-3) hosts Missouri (3-7, 1-5) at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
