Kentucky Defense Can't Lose the Bad Taste from the Tennessee Loss

In three of the last four games, the Kentucky defense has not allowed a scoring drive of more than 40 yards. Opponents only have a chance at scoring if they create turnovers or big plays on special teams. Even then, Kentucky still only gave up 23 points in regulation to Texas, Auburn, and Florida.

There’s one big exception: Tennessee.

Kentucky simply had no answers for Josh Heupel‘s offense when the Vols came to Kroger Field. Tennessee had five touchdown drives in five plays or less, completed five passes of 35+ yards, and finished the night with 56 points in a 22-point win.
