Kentucky vs Tennessee football recap: Wildcats fall to No. 3 Volunteers in Knoxville

Coming off a bye week, the Kentucky football team has a massive challenge on its hands in the form of No. 3 Tennessee (7-0, 3-0 SEC).

Kentucky, ranked 19th in the latest AP college football poll, will try to pull off an upset at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville and avenge last season's 45-42 loss to the Volunteers. Tennessee is in the midst of its best start to a season since it won the national championship in 1998.

UK sits at 5-2 overall and 2-2 in Southeastern Conference play. The off week came at an ideal time for the Wildcats since some players needed time to rest their injuries, according to coach Mark Stoops.
