Highlights, box score & MVP from UK’s historic win over No. 18 Tennessee

For the first time in 35 years, the Kentucky Wildcats football team walked off the field at Neyland Stadium with a victory, stunning the No. 18th ranked Tennessee Volunteers 34-7 on Saturday afternoon. The Wildcats last won in Knoxville in 1984. It was also the biggest win over Tennessee since 1935.

Once again, the Kentucky defense led the way, forcing four turnovers in the first half, including a fumble recovery by Marquan McCall and three interceptions, all in the second quarter from Kelvin Joseph, Jamin Davis and Tyrell Ajian, to continue a remarkable streak of nine interceptions over the past two games.
