The Vols are back in action tonight.
Tennessee will be looking to move to 7-1 tonight, hosting the Kentucky Wildcats. The Volunteers are coming off of a bye week after beating Alabama. Their college football playoff hopes are still very much alive, but taking care of games like this are a must.
Tennessee is favored by 17 points. Kentucky has won exactly three times against Tennessee since 1985. The Wildcats are banged up, and Tennessee is looking to make a statement to backup their win against Alabama.
“Defensively, statistically, one of the best in the league and in the country,” Josh Heupel said. “That’s their run defense and their pass defense as well; some guys over there that we’ve played for a long time. Offensively, got to do a great job against the run. They’re big and physical up front. Quarterback can be a part of their run game, and they got dynamic playmakers out on the perimeter and in the backfield. Same thing on special teams. So big test for us. Looking forward to it and should be a great environment.”
