How to Watch: Tennessee at Kentucky

Following a blowout win over UAB, Tennessee hits the road for the first time since Oct. 19 this week as it prepares to take on Kentucky at Kroger Field on Saturday.

Despite an abysmal start to the regular season, the Vols now find themselves in the thick of postseason competition after winning three of their past four games, including two straight.

Here’s how you can follow along with the action from the comfort of your home:

TV: SEC Network (Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers, Cole Cubelic). You can also stream the game on the WatchESPN app.

Radio: Vol Network (Bob Kesling, Tim Priest, Brent Hubbs) on WIVK-FM 107.7/WNML-FM 99.1.

National Radio: XM Channel 380.

Betting Line: As of Nov. 6, 6:00 p.m. ET -- Kentucky -1

Facing off against the country's 113th-ranked scoring offense, Tennessee's primary concern with the Wildcats will come on the defensive side of the ball. Kentucky ranks 32nd in scoring defense, surrendering just 21.3 points to the opposition through eight games.

While Mark Stoops' team may not put up many points, its rushing attack musters up 201 yards per game and has only gotten better since Lynn Bowden Jr. took over the quarterback responsibilities.

The Vols surrender 138 yards on the ground but have amped up the intensity on the defensive side of the ball in recent weeks, even making life miserable on Alabama's Tua Tagavailoa before he left the game with a high ankle sprain.

Tennessee's offense may not be the most consistent given the quarterback situation, but Jim Chaney's unit has been able to string together scoring drives when called upon in the last four outings.

If UT wishes to take another step towards a bowl game in a hostile environment, it will need more of that same effort on both ends of the field.
