At the Half: Tennessee 27, Kentucky 6
Kentucky traded early blows with the Volunteers, until a red zone mistake put the Wildcats behind the proverbial 8-ball. Kentucky will get the ball first to start the second half, but trails 27-6 at the intermission.
The Wildcats had a couple of three-and-outs, yet were still threatening to score late in the first half. A third down pass to Dane Key was jarred loose by a big hit and the ball bounced right into the hands of a Tennessee defender. Kentucky left the red zone scoreless, a recipe for disaster against the high-powered Tennessee offense.

Hendon Hooker completed 12-of-14 passes for 148 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown pass to Jalin Hyatt on the opening drive of the game. A Kentucky special teams mistake gave the Tennessee quarterback a short field on the final first half possession. It quickly turned into another Jalin Hyatt touchdown.
Kentucky held 11-straight opponents to 24 points or less. That streak was snapped in the first half. It’s getting ugly in Knoxville.
