Tennessee versus Kentucky football game officials

No. 16 Tennessee (6-2, 3-2 SEC) will host No. 7 Kentucky (7-1, 5-1 SEC) on Saturday in Week 10. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll . "Coach (Will) Stein, their staff, they've done a really good job," Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said of facing Kentucky. "Some personnel that's been there, they've added some personnel, but at the end of the day, I think the major thing is that they're playing smart football. "They're playing all three phases of the game. Quarterback that doesn't turn it over. They've created turnovers. That turnover margin is one of the best in the country."

MTSU football snaps seven-game series skid against Western Kentucky

Dominic Bourgeois kicked a 48-yard field goal with one second left, helping Middle Tennessee State football snap a seven-game losing streak to Western Kentucky, winning 51-42 on Nov. 7 at Floyd Stadium. The Hilltoppers attempted several laterals on the ensuing kickoff, but MTSU returned an illegal forward pass for a touchdown as time expired for the final margin. MTSU fans stormed the field, celebrating the Blue Raiders ' first win in the "100 Miles of Hate" rivalry since 2018. MTSU (5-4, 3-2 Conference USA) led 42-27 before Western Kentucky (3-6, 2-3) scored two touchdowns in less than five minutes to tie the game with 31 seconds left. But the Blue Raiders made a couple of big plays and WKU committed a 10-yard holding penalty to set up the field goal attempt.
