It has been quite the season for Tennessee, for better or worse, but this team is still in contention for the SEC East title.

Tennessee was in trouble early in this game, but they eventually pulled away from Kentucky to get a win. Tennessee’s defense, mostly due to injury, has not been what many thought it would be this season, they allowed 443 yards rushing by Kentucky and with numbers like that, the Volunteers are lucky that they were even able to still win this game. Had they lost, I cannot even imagine the increase in temperature of the hot seat for head coach Butch Jones. The Volunteers have underachieved again, but if they can still get to the SEC Championship Game, then their season could still be deemed something of a success.

Next game: November 19, vs Missouri, 3:30pm ET CBS
