Kentucky snaps skid at Neyland, beats No. 18 Tennessee 34-7

Associated Press  

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Two years ago, Kentucky was playing well before being shut down at Neyland Stadium by a Tennessee team with a losing record. “Two years ago, we didn’t come out and play well at the start of the game,” Stoops said. “It was definitely worth it.” Kelvin Joseph also returned an interceptions for a touchdown in the first half and Kentucky shut out Tennessee in the second half. “There’s lots of areas we need to improve obviously but it’s more about creating the right habits,” Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said. We’ve got to work hard to do that.” Joseph’s 41-yard touchdown and Davis’ 85-yard return — both off interceptions thrown by Jarrett Guarantano — helped put Kentucky up 17-0 in the second quarter.
