For the first time in 71 years, two ranked teams will take the field in the Kentucky-Tennessee rivalry game as the 19th-ranked Wildcats will face the 3rd-ranked Volunteers in a key SEC matchup on Saturday in Knoxville.
The Vols have dominated the series, including 26 consecutive wins over the Wildcats between 1985 and 2010, and won 45-42 last year in Lexington. However, prior to last season, Kentucky was 2-2 against Tennessee under Coach Mark Stoops with the Wildcats winning in 2017 and 2020.
Tennessee, who recently beat powerhouse Alabama at Neyland Stadium, is the hottest team in college football and could get caught this week looking ahead to its next opponent as the Vols will face No.
