Josh Palmer, Marquez Callaway and Jauan Jennings combined for 349 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a 24-20 win on the road against Missouri. Here's a thread on just how good they were.

First off, it's the first time in program history three players had 100 receiving yards in a game, so that's nice. https://twitter.com/Vol_Football/status/1198471742613860353

Here's a breakdown of all 17 catches:

-7 came on third down (all 7 were enough for a first down)
-16 of the 17 catches resulted in a first down
-They averaged 20.5 yards per catch

Let's start with Josh Palmer since he led the team in receiving yards.

-6 catches (a career-high) on 7 targets
-124 yards (a career-high and his first 100-yard receiving game)

Palmer consistently beat his man 1-on-1. The first picture came from his first catch. His defender nearly fell down in his break (lol), plus it was a difficult catch (not the best placement). The second picture, he beats the jam at the line, stacks and catches it back shoulder

Palmer was TOUGH on Saturday. Plenty of catches in traffic, these two stand out the most. The first one he high points, flips, and holds on (him and Jauan almost on top of each other, little confusing). The second one he once again beats the jam, stacks and gets DRILLED

He was down for a while, but came back and makes my favorite catch of his in this game. Cuts inside on 3rd and 9, great catch away from his body, gets to the line to keep the drive going with 3:18 left. BIG MOMENT to hold off Missouri.

This was IMO the best game of his career. He flashed his talent and showed why he has a lot of potential at the next level.

Okay next up, Marquez Callaway.

-6 catches (ties a career-high)
-110 yards
-1 touchdown

This is his fourth 100-yard receiving game this season, the fifth in his career. Three of them have come in the last four games.

What Callaway did so well in this game was find the soft spot in the defense, especially on the sideline. He and JG were on the same page consistently.
-No. 1 went for 22 yards on 1st & 15
-No. 2 made it 3rd & short
-No. 3 went for 18 yards on 2nd & 7

Also, he caught this for a touchdown lol

Was there some hand-fighting? Sure, but he made a great play on the ball. Callaway is one of the best jump-ball receivers in the SEC, maybe the whole country.

Ahhhh yes, now time for Jauan Jennings.

-5 catches
-115 yards
-1 TD
-6 broken tackles by my count

This is his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season

Here's his 51-yard catch and run. Look at the bottom right corner. He turned this man's hips all the way over. YEET.

He cuts inside, catches the ball with plenty of room. Turns upfield with two defenders in his immediate vicinity.

Pic 1 - Before they try to tackle him

Pic 2 - After they try to tackle him

He's finally tackled at the Missouri 24-yard line

On his touchdown in the second quarter to give UT the lead, Jennings makes two defenders miss three times. He jukes and swipes away defender No. 1, makes defender No. 2 miss in the open field and then makes defender No. 1 miss a second time before diving into the end zone.

Like, Jauan has always been "The Dawg," but his ability to shake off tacklers has never been as good as it has been this season. His agility and power is a really good combination. He runs the ball so ANGRY and I love it.

He's also shattering his 2016 breakout year numbers.

2016:

40 catches, 580 yards, 7 TDs in 13 games

2019:

55 catches, 886 yards, 8 TDs in 11 games

He's close to finishing top ten in just about every receiving category in a single season in program history.

Catches - No. 10 Peerless Price (61 in 1998)
Yards - No. 10 Josh Malone (972 in 2016
TDs - Five players tied at No. 8 with 9 touchdowns

In the career receiving record book, he continues to move up:

Career catches - Tied at No. 5 with 142 (Gerald Jones)
Career receiving yards - No. 6 with 2,070
Career receiving TDs - Tied at No. 5 with 18 (Justin Hunter, Denarius Moore, Cory Fleming)

And his 6 career 100-yard receiving games is tied for No. 8 in program history with five other players.

So when you combine all these things together, plus the fact that Missouri came into this game allowing the sixth fewest passing yards per game in the country... yeah... I'd say these dudes played pretty well.

A common theme with their completions too - Jarrett Guarantano almost always had time to throw and nearly all of the throws were placed very well. A good performance from the passing game in general, especially after some early drops and bad throws.
