Talk about a huge victory for Tennessee football. The Vols have gotten back to .500 in November with a 5-5 record, 3-3 in the SEC thanks to a huge close win over the Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats on the road.
It was a long uphill climb after losing their first two games at home to Group of Five programs and starting the year 1-4 with no wins over FBS programs. This team was dead in the water, and there appeared to be no shot for them to reach a bowl game or even get to five wins.
