Neyland Stadium will be nuts under the lights on Saturday night. Tennessee football is on fire, after all. Undefeated. No. 3 in the nation. The Vols will be wearing their “dark mode,” i.e. black uniforms, in front of ESPN’s prime-time gang with Fowler and Herbstreit. Rocky Top will be rocking.
So visiting Kentucky has no shot, right? Zero. None. Zilch. Mark Stoops’ Wildcats are a 12.5-point underdog in this year’s border war. Surely the visitors will end up another Vols’ victim, tire tracks on their backs before the long, long night in Knoxville is through.
Ah, as Lee Corso might say, not so fast, my friend. I’m not here to guarantee Kentucky will knock Josh Heupel’s locomotive off the tracks. I am here to say it would not surprise me if Kentucky spoils the Big Orange party, not if the Cats play their cards right.
