Tennessee Football Opponent Preview: Kentucky Wildcats

After an uninspiring 14-3 win over Charlotte, Tennessee will play its penultimate home game of 2018 on Saturday when the Volunteers host No. 11 Kentucky.

Kentucky (7-2, 5-2 SEC) has surpassed all expectations in 2018, just narrowly missing a chance to win the SEC East for the first time ever and having a New Year’s Six bowl game still well within its sights.

This year’s game between the Volunteers and Wildcats will be the 114th all-time, the most meetings with any opponent for Tennessee.

Kentucky comes to Knoxville as a 6-point favorite, looking to beat Tennessee on the road for the first time since 1984.
