Kentucky played a dirty game, and the refs let them get away with blatant personal foul calls. In a span of the game, Kentucky managed to injure Mark Mitchell for a week, Cedric Washington for the game, and Justin Smith for most of the fourth quarter.

The Vols valiantly fought the whole game without their starting quarter back Mark Mitchell, but came up short 35-14. Turnovers caused the culprit for Tennessee. Two interceptions and a lost fumble helped Tennessee to lose the game.

"Kentucky thinks they can kill the Tennessee team off, but we will not go away. We have fought all year long and we fought hard today, its all I ask out of my team. I hope the team can be prepared for a FIU team that is at 4-5 and looking for a chance to get to a winning season. We have to be on guard for them." Coach Batten quietly said.
