The win is Tennessee’s fifth top 25 victory during the season.
Following the win, Tennessee redshirt senior quarterback Hendon Hooker discussed the Vols’ team goal of winning a Southeastern Conference championship.
“We want to win the SEC championship,” Hooker said after Tennessee’s win versus Kentucky. “Our goal is to be playing in Atlanta at the end of the season.
“Every day we come in, it’s another day at the office. The same way a mailman goes and delivers the mail, the same way we go into the football facility. Lifting weights, hopping on film, and trying to get better every day.”
