Coming off back-to-back losses against Ole Miss and Alabama, Tennessee firmly believes its string of misfortune will come to an end against Kentucky in Lexington. After all, the Volunteers don’t lose to the Wildcats, right?
Except for the program’s 34-7 blowout loss at home last season, of course.
“This game is personal.”
In a mid-week press conference previewing the matchup, Tennessee cornerback Alontae Taylor said they made it clear when he first arrived in Knoxville that losing to Kentucky was a major no-no. As a result, the program is taking this week’s game to heart after getting embarrassed at home last season.
