Tennessee’s defense has been hot as of late

Kentucky and Charlotte can attest: points have been hard to come by against Tennessee lately.

The Volunteers have given up just 10 points combined in their past two games against the Wildcats (7 pts) and 49ers (3 pts), dominating both on the ground and through the air.

Kentucky star running back Benny Snell Jr. mustered up just 81 yards rushing without a score in a loss Saturday, proving Tennessee’s 55th-ranked rush defense (152.7 ypg) is much improved from the beginning of the year.

The Volunteers’ defense prides itself on defending the pass and rushing the passer.
