The Kentucky Wildcats faced off against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday night looking to get a massive win over the undefeated Vols, who were coming ...

Kentucky going to finish the game with 205 yards and six points. O-Line rebuild a must. Unpopular OC must fix an offense that has been a serious disappointment.— Justin Rowland (@RowlandRIVALS) Tyrell Ajian is questionable to return with a back injury.— Tyler Thompson (@MrsTylerKSR) Tend to try to avoid overreactions, but at the risk of one, this really feels like a big crossroads for the program. As soon as we fix one area another pops up. Kentucky will get the ball back on its own 3-yard line. Have to make those plays. Might have been a TD if he holds on. [October 30, 2022] Pretty brutal start here for the Cats but that's been a theme this season.— Adam Luckett (@AdamLuckettKSR) However, special teams continued to be an issue as the extra point was blocked and UT held a 7-6 lead.

Kentucky football exposed in blowout loss to No. 3 Tennessee as ... (Lexington Herald Leader)

No. 3 Tennessee football remained unbeaten with a blowout victory over No. 19 Kentucky to end any hope that the Wildcats could factor in the SEC East race.

The game quickly spiraled out of control from there with Tennessee scoring just before halftime for a 27-6 lead. Tennessee drove 77 yards on eight plays on the ensuing drive for a two-score lead. Another of those mistakes popped up on Kentucky’s first drive of the second quarter when wide receiver Tayvion Robinson dropped what would have been a long gain for a third-down conversion. That touchdown came when Kentucky left Hyatt wide-open again, this time for a 31-yard pass into the end zone. For just the third time in 118 meetings between the programs, both Kentucky and Tennessee entered a matchup ranked. There was reason to wonder if Tennessee might look past Kentucky to its matchup with No.

Why quick response to Tennessee blowout is essential for Kentucky ... (Lexington Herald Leader)

Kentucky football's once promising 2022 season is in trouble after a blowout at Tennessee. How the Wildcats respond at Missouri could set tone for future.

But a 6-6 record with even more reason to worry about the future is still on the table, too. You’ve got to just keep chopping and you’ve got to keep coming to practice. Historically, eight win seasons have been difficult to come by for Kentucky, but that record will still be considered a disappointment when compared to the lofty summer goals. “You’ve got to be a great teammate and you’ve got to pick up your other teammates. If you’re going to be in this, you’re going to be in this league, you’re going to have some tough losses. It’s not like Kentucky was able to fully take advantage of Tennessee’s down years anyway, but the Vols’ ascendance figures to make the future schedule even more difficult. How Kentucky bounces back from Tennessee, starting at Missouri, has major implications for the future. Without a top quarterback, Stoops and company will have to worry about other programs trying to poach their group of young playmaking receivers. Based on the way Kentucky played against Tennessee, it is impossible to imagine a scenario where the Wildcats upset No. Kentucky’s last two trips to Missouri featured stagnant offensive performances in a 20-10 loss in 2020 and a 15-14 win in 2018. Even if the Bulldogs won the division, Kentucky was supposed to be a legitimate contender for a New Year’s Six bowl game. In 2019, a heartbreaking loss to Florida was followed by losses at Mississippi State and South Carolina.
