Kentucky football saved its season last weekend with a much-needed win over then No. 16 Mississippi State.

A loss would’ve seen Kentucky fall out of the top 25 and have to fight for bowl contention, but the win sees Kentucky one win away from a bowl and remain within the top 25.

Unfortunately for Kentucky, the road does not get any easier for the Wildcats as they are faced with a trip to Neyland Stadium to face No. 3 following a bye week.

Not only does UK face a fierce rival in an intense environment, but it’s put up against a Volunteers squad that just upset Alabama in that same stadium, winning 52-49 in arguably one of the best regular season college football games in recent years.
