Nothing turned the corner for Tennessee football this season like their 20-10 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. At the time, the Vols were 1-4 and winless against an FBS program on the year. But there’s no doubt that the Kentucky Wildcats are their best win of Jeremy Pruitt’s second season, at least for now.
When breaking down the best win, we can eliminate a few. The Chattanooga Mocs are an FCS team, so they’re out. Although the UAB Blazers have the best record of anybody the Vols beat, they haven’t beaten anybody with a winning record this year
That leaves Mississippi State and the South Carolina Gamecocks.
