Comments

I was going to surely pick UT to win this one but now it looks like the rugged Kentucky team of 2019 is back after the 24-2 win over Mississippi State. Who else scores 24 points on 150 yards of total offense? I think this one will be close but Kentucky will pull out a win over a deflated Tennesee.
