By the time Tennessee and Missouri begin play Saturday afternoon, the Volunteers will probably have a keen sense for how another SEC game of material importance, being played 565 miles away, might turn out.Florida and LSU are scheduled to kick off in Baton Rouge a good 2 1/2 hours before the Vols (7-3, 3-3 SEC) and Mizzou (3-7, 1-5 SEC) kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.The Vols have a vested interest in the outcome of the LSU-Florida redo -- shifted on the calendar and from Gainesville -- affair because they need the Gators to lose their conference finale to have a shot at gaining a share of the East Division title and a berth in the SEC Championship Game.But Vols coach Butch Jones said players wont be scoreboard watching when they take on Mizzou.In terms of scoreboard watching, we dont ever look up at the scoreboard, Jones said. Thats kind of our mindset. You just keep your head down and you keep playing.His players need to be concerned only with things they can control, he said.Thats out of our hands, he said of the Florida-LSU game. Were playing a very team thats coming in here with a lot of momentum, very, very explosive, and its going to take all of our focus and concentration on playing Missouri.With their win last week over Kentucky, the Vols got back to .500 in conference play and now need wins over Mizzou and Vanderbilt their next two games to finish 5-3 in the conference. If the Gators lose at LSU, they also would end up 5-3, and the Vols hold the tiebreaker to get to the title game, where they would face No. 1 Alabama. The unbeaten Crimson Tide already has clinched the West.The Vols go into their final home game unranked in the media and coaches polls after once reaching as high as No. 9 in the country. But consecutive losses to Texas A&M, Alabama, and South Carolina knocked them out of the Top 25. They are No. 19 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings but were among teams also receiving votes in this weeks media and coaches polls.Their unranked status doesnt bother Jones.Thats one of those things that we cant control, he said. The only way we can control it is to keep winning.I am proud of this football team and everything that it has accomplished. Weve played the most difficult schedule, No. 1 in the country, and were 7-3. Were playing meaningful games in November, and thats what its all about.Injuries have had a major impact on the Vols. Jones noted that the Vols have lost five defensive starters since the season began and have started eight different combinations in the secondary.Its pretty hard to be consistent when you have that and when you look at the number of players who have missed games, Jone said. I dont know if there as ever been a season like this in football.The game against Missouri will feature a matchup of two of the leagues most productive quarterbacks, at least when it comes to producing touchdowns.Tennessees Josh Dobbs and Missouris Drew Lock are tied for the most touchdown passes among SEC quarterbacks with 21 each. Dobbs, however, also has rushed for seven scores to no rushing touchdowns for Lock.Dobbs, in fact, is a major factor in Tennessees running game, especially since veteran running back Jalen Hurd left the Vols after seven games. Dobbs is the Vols leading rusher with 470 yards and is coming off a 147-yard rushing effort against Kentucky.Missouri, which snapped a five-game losing streak with its win over Vanderbilt last week, gets its ground yardage the usual way. Running backs Damarea Crockett and Ish Witter have rushed for 837 and 575 yards, respectively. Crockett is coming off a 150-yard effort against the Commodores.We blocked well from the point of attack and Damarea, for a freshman, hes gotten better every week, first-year coach Barry Odom said. He works that way in practice.Im excited to see him throughout the week the way that he practices, handles himself, and then prepares the right way. Hes got a bright future.

Spinner Steve OKeefe has vowed to quit drinking for the summer in an effort to give himself the best possible chance of representing Australia again. OKeefe was last month fined $10,000 by Cricket Australia after a late-night incident at a Sydney hotel, in which police alleged OKeefe behaved offensively toward a security guard who had refused him entry.That incident came after OKeefe returned home early from the tour of Sri Lanka having suffered a hamstring injury during the first Test in Pallekele. It was the third Test of OKeefes career and with a tour of India scheduled for early next year, if he can remain fit and controversy-free he will likely come under consideration for that trip.OKeefe said he had decided to focus his attention on more specific training and an increased focus on recovery, and would stay away from alcohol for the 2016-17 season in an effort to make the most of his career.Im getting older and Im getting injuries like the hamstring, which Id never done before, and if I want to at my age give myself a realistic chance of having the long career that I want then I need to be doing these other things outside the game, OKeefe told the Sydney Morning Herald.Its not something I go around touting to every individual. Im planning to go the cricket season [without alcohol]. Its not for everyone. I love a beer and having a beer at the end of the game with your mates you certainly got a llot out of.dddddddddddd You sit back and relax and some of those conversations you have really extend your cricket.But I think for me right now its the best thing I can do to give myself every chance of playing the best cricket and being as healthy as I possibly can. Im into day 31, Ive been ticking them off.The incident at the Steyne Hotel was the result of a build-up of frustration for OKeefe, whose three Tests have been spread across three different series, including a near wash-out at the SCG last summer. He had also been named in Australias squad for last years tour of Bangladesh, which was cancelled due to security reasons, and then was injured in Sri Lanka.I think I mainly just felt sorry for myself, OKeefe said. Id been home for a week and I felt like I had things under wraps and then you have a couple of drinks and those other thoughts that are sitting around in the back of your head start to come to fruition. You think, is that it? Is that your last opportunity to play cricket for Australia?When you go home and youre on your own, you sit down and reflect on it and the Test is on the TV, its a hard thing to take. Obviously its fair to say I didnt handle it appropriately at all.OKeefe spoke to police the day after the incident and apologised to the hotel manager. ' ' '
