Lane Kiffin’s only trip to the University of Kentucky as a head coach is a painful memory for the Big Blue Nation. This Saturday some fans could finally receive vengeance 11 years in the making.
When Tennessee traveled to Knoxville for the final game of the 2009 season, the Volunteers had a 25-game win streak over the Wildcats. This year was different: Phil Fulmer wasn’t on the sideline. The longtime Tennessee head coach had never lost to UK. In his place was a young, flashy offensive guru from the NFL, Lane Kiffin.
In his first season in Knoxville, Kiffin was not a sure-fire winner.
