The Kentucky Wildcats (6-3, 4-3) haven’t beaten the Tennessee Volunteers (5-4, 3-3) in back-to-back years in 43 years and it looks like the program will to have wait at least another two years before having another shot to break the streak.
Hendon Hooker threw for four touchdowns and Alontae Taylor came up with a crucial pick-six in what was a thrilling, back-and-forth win for the Vols. This game represents the first win over a ranked opponent during the Josh Heupel era.
Tennessee received the ball to start the game. It literally took one play for Tennessee to score the game’s first touchdown as JaVonta Payton took a screen pass 75-yards to the house.
