Tennessee Football Smokey Points: Top 5 Vols Who Performed vs the Kentucky Wildcats

There were lots of great Tennessee football players in their 49-36 win over the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday. Here are the top five Volunteers from the game.

Talk about a heck of an offensive clinic. Lots of Tennessee football players deserve credit for quelling the momentum of Mark Stoops and Kentucky on Saturday.

They also deserve credit for getting their team back on track.

And all of a sudden, in the process, the Vols are one weekend away from retaking control of their own destiny in the SEC East race. All they have to do is beat the Missouri Tigers and have the Florida Gators lose to the LSU Tigers on the road.

That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a great chance.

However, if they’re going to do that, they will have to play a lot better defense than they did on Saturday. It was the Tennessee football offense that carried this team, and those players deserve to be recognized.

As we give credit to the stars who put on an amazing highlight reel in this game, though, it’s important to note that some of the defenders do deserve credit.

There were two big standout playmakers that we have to name on that side of the ball.

The other three, however, come from the Tennessee football offense. While two of those players clearly belonged, it was hard to pick the final player.

So when we rank our Top Five Vols from Saturday who deserve helmet stickers, four are obvious. The fifth guy to earn Smokey Points was tricky.

But here’s a look at all of them. These are the top five Tennessee football performers from Saturday.
