Tennessee will make the trip to Kroger Field in Lexington for the SEC Week 9 college football matchup against Kentucky on Saturday.
The Volunteers (5-2, 2-2 SEC) are looking to rebound following a 37-20 loss at Alabama. On the other hand, the Wildcats (2-4, 0-4 SEC) are on a three-game losing streak and hoping to make a statement in SEC with theit first conference victory.
Interestingly, since Josh Heupel took over the reins in 2021, Tennessee has dominated this matchup, winning all four meetings. The Vols are chasing a fifth straight win against the Wildcats to stay alive in the SEC race after dropping last week.
While Kentucky has a 2-4 overall record, it's played some of its best football at home and gave Ole Miss and Texas a tough time. The Wildcasts' defense is coming off one of its best outings after holding Texas to just 179 yards, but the Vols' offense, led by quarterback Joey Aguilar, will be a different challenge altogether.
