Tennessee football: Video highlights from Vols’ 34-7 loss to Kentucky

These were the big plays from the Tennessee football Volunteers’ loss to the Wildcats.

It was a game to forget for Tennessee football. Very few highlights worked in the Vols’ favor on Saturday as they lost 34-7 to the Kentucky Wildcats. However, it’s important to know what transpired to allow this game to turn out in such a way.

Everybody who watched it knows in general. There was a string of first-half turnovers, and then there was a defensive collapse in the second half. Let’s take a look at the notable moments from all of that.

Through various sources, we are able to compile all the video highlights from Tennessee football’s 34-7 loss to Kentucky. What is said in the commentary of these accounts does not reflect our take on the situation at all. Anyway, let’s dive in.

Vols throw three straight interceptions, including two pick-sixes

Jarrett Guarantano threw pick-sixes on back to back drives in the second quarter. Then JT Shrout came in and threw another interception. That spotted the Kentucky Wildcats a 17-0 lead, putting the Vols in serious trouble.

Ty Chandler eight-yard touchdown run

After turning to the ground game, the Vols marched down the field on a 75-yard drive late in the second quarter with all the yards gained by Ty Chandler and Eric Gray. While Gray gained the bulk of them, Chandler capped it off with a touchdown run. That cut the lead to 17-7 at halftime, and gave the Vols reason for hope entering the second half.

Allen Dailey Jr. catches touchdown pass

This play helped put the Kentucky Wildcats in control. On their first drive of the second half, they drove down the field up 17-7. On 3rd and 1, Terry Wilson threw a fade to Allen Dailey Jr., and Dailey got away with a bit of a push-off to come down with the touchdown reception. The extra point gave UK a three-possession lead.

Christopher Rodriguez Jr. clinches game with touchdown run

Late in the game, Kentucky was in complete control. By this point, the Vols’ rush defense had given up as well. As a result, the Wildcats marched down the field and scored another touchdown, with Christopher Rodriguez Jr. running it in for the knockout punch.

The game was already in hand when Rodriguez scored his touchdown, but it put an exclamation point on a horrendous game by Tennessee football. With the Alabama Crimson Tide up next, the Vols are in serious trouble now.
