No. 19 Kentucky held 11 straight opponents to 24 points or less. No. 3 Tennessee broke that streak in the first half. The Wildcats missed opportunities on offense and special teams, letting Josh Heupel’s offense run wild in a 44-6 Volunteer victory at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee remains undefeated as they drop Kentucky to 5-3 ahead of a road trip to Missouri.
As expected, Tennessee’s top-ranked offense got off to a fast start. Tempo caused confusion on the Kentucky defense, leading to an easy Jalin Hyatt 55-yard touchdown.
