Close one Saturday?

Prediction: Tennessee 40, Kentucky 24
For all the success the Wildcats have experienced in Stoops' tenure, one thing they haven't done — yet — is beat a top-five foe. Entering Saturday, they are 0-6 in such matchups. The last time UK downed an opponent ranked in the Associated Press' top five was the 2007 triple-overtime thriller against then-No. 1 LSU, which went on to win the national title that season.

Kentucky's defense should keep the visitors within striking distance for a bit Saturday, but Hendon Hooker and the Tennessee offense are simply too strong. The Volunteers' dream season continues, setting up a battle of undefeated squads next week in Athens, Georgia.
