Butch Jones, Mark Stoops, and Year Three

Our 2015 opponent preview continues with a short drive up I-75...

In the middle of October last season an uncomfortable comparison was stirring in Big Orange Country.  Butch Jones may have recently called the Florida loss the lowest point of his career, but two weeks later the Vols still couldn't run the ball, couldn't find the end zone against Ole Miss, and went back to Knoxville 3-4 and without a quarterback.

Meanwhile in Lexington, Kentucky was 5-1 in mid-October, and the one was a painful woulda-shoulda-coulda triple overtime affair against those same Gators.  But Kentucky had followed up with a 45-38 win over South Carolina and a blowout of Louisiana-Monroe.
