There's no room for error for Tennessee football moving forward. Following the loss to Alabama last weekend, the Vols are 6-2 on the year and the team has to be perfect moving forward in order to reach the College Football Playoff.
That's why this Saturday night's game against Kentucky is incredibly important for Josh Heupel and his players. Yes, Kentucky has struggled again in 2025, but no one can overlook the Wildcats. If Tennessee does that, it could pay big time for that.
That's why there's so much concern when it comes to standout linebacker Arion Carter.
