Tennessee football: Key moments and turning points in Vols win vs. Kentucky

Even in a year in which the programs are at opposite stages, Tennessee football still managed to dominate the Kentucky Wildcats. The Vols moved to 5-5 on Saturday with a BLANK victory in the game, getting themselves one game closer to a bowl.

Meanwhile, UK fell to 7-3 on the year and 5-3 in the SEC. UT did lose to UK last year, its worst year in program history. But they showed that when the teams are on reasonable levels, the series still belongs to them.

Jeremy Pruitt’s defense proved itself more than ever before, and the Vols used big running plays and beautiful passes from Jarrett Guarantano to win.
