Kentucky Defense turning the page as they prepare for Tennessee

The Cats, who came into their SEC East winner-take-all game with Georgia tied for first in the nation in points per game, laid an egg.

For the first time all year, Kentucky’s defense gave up more than 20 points as the Dogs ran wild for 331 rushing yards and 34 points.

Defensive coordinator Matt House, who today was named a Broyles Award nominee for the nation’s best assistant coach, says his team has surely shown extra motivation this week.

“I think there’s a determination in there, and I fully expect us to play better.”

With the SEC East title now out of play, Kash Daniel admitted there was some let down after the loss, but he knows there’s still plenty to play for.
