Our Kentucky vs. Tennessee predictions expect the Vols to cruise in the opening half.
The Tennessee Volunteers are fresh off a bye week, and they'll jump out to a big lead early against a struggling Kentucky defense.The Kentucky Wildcats hope to salvage their season on Saturday night when they visit the Tennessee Volunteers.
See, the Tigers decided they wanted to throw the ball out of the gate. Nearly every play in their first three possessions was a designed pass, and it led to two punts and an interception. But once the Tigers realized they could run the ball, it was all over.have had two weeks to put together a game plan, and I guarantee it involves feeding the ball to Dylan Sampson. The Tennessee running back has had 22+ carries in four straight games, averaging 4.86 yards per carry against SEC opponents.
Offensively, Brock Vandagriff has been poor, and his performance at night in The Swamp won’t instill much confidence he’ll thrive in Rocky Top. Gavin Wimsatt saw time last week and could be inserted earlier here, but he completed just three of 10 passes against Auburn and wasn’t good in tough environments for Rutgers last season.
The Volunteers' defense allows the second-fewest yards per play to conference foes and will cause real problems for a Kentucky offense ranked second-worst in SEC play in yards per play. Look for Tennessee to put this one away before halftime.Given his recent workload and the frailties with Kentucky’s front seven, I will be shocked if Sampson fails to reach 20 carries again. He’s been a workhorse of late for the Volunteers, and he’s good for at least one big run per game.
