Mark Stoops and Wildcats recap Tennessee, plus postgame notes

For the second-straight week, the Kentucky Wildcats defense was an embarrassment as they allowed 461 total yards in a 45-42 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers.

Kentucky’s offense came out strong as they put together 612 total yards of offense. Will Levis threw for 387 yards with three touchdowns, but he also made a key mistake by throwing a third quarter interception that was returned for a 56-yard touchdown by Tennessee’s Alontae Taylor.

With the loss, Kentucky has now lost three straight games, including two straight to unranked opponents. They have been outscored 106-72 in their losses to Georgia, Mississippi State and Tennessee.
