Absolute madness ensues as Kentucky survives chaos but trails Tennessee at half

It started badly. Then it got worse. Then, somehow, it got better. The first half of Kentucky versus Tennessee at Kroger Field was a rollercoaster of baffling mistakes, explosive plays, and sheer unpredictability, leaving the Wildcats trailing but surprisingly still in the fight.

After 30 minutes of absolute madness, Tennessee leads Kentucky 35-21.

A nightmare start for the Cats

The Vols came out firing, marching 75 yards in just 4 plays on their opening drive for a quick 7-0 lead. Kentucky's offense sputtered early, going three-and-out. Things truly unraveled on the Wildcats' second possession.
