Searching for a win in Knoxville for the first time in 34 years, No. 11 Kentucky found nothing but bad football in the second quarter of a 24-7 loss to Tennessee.
Kentucky’s offense ran 15 plays in the second quarter. They gained only one yard.
It’s tough to pinpoint exactly where the Cats went wrong because nothing went right. Receivers dropped passes and offensive linemen missed blocks. You can blame every single player and coach for the offensive ineptitude, and yet, the defense wasn’t much better.
Despite UK’s offensive struggles, Kentucky only trailed 3-0 with less than five minutes remaining in the first half.
