No. 16 Tennessee (7-2, 4-2 SEC) defeated No. 7 Kentucky (7-2, 5-2 SEC), 34-6, in Week 10 at Neyland Stadium. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The Week 10 matchup marked the first game Kentucky head coach Will Stein faced the Vols. He discussed the rivalry game after the 28-point loss.
“Credit to Tennessee, they won the game," Stein said. "A lot of uncharacteristic plays by us tonight. You can’t turn the ball over three times, that's obvious. There’s fourth down mistakes, penalties, stuff that we’ve controlled all year long and did not play to our standard tonight.
"It’s a hurt locker room. We haven’t experienced losing in a long time, which is really good, but we gotta learn from it, we gotta grow, we gotta go back to work. There’s no
loser mindset, no ‘poor me's’. We got beat and now it’s about resetting our focus for this next week."
Kentucky committed seven penalties for 50 yards and three turnovers. Tennessee scored seven points off the Wildcats' turnovers.
