Brad White’s Kentucky defense will face its biggest challenge of the season when the Wildcats head to Neyland Stadium for a nighttime showdown with No. 3 Tennessee on Oct. 29. The last meeting with Josh Heupel and Hendon Hooker did not go so well for the Big Blue.
The Vols scored 38 offensive points in 47 snaps posting 9.8 yards per play. Tennessee’s offense rushed for 145 yards on 5.4 yards per rush and passed for 316 yards as Hooker posted a season-high 15.8 yards per attempt. Kentucky had no answers most of the night as the Vols connected on two vertical throw touchdowns in the first four plays of the game.
