Brock Vandagriff played pretty well, but was knocked out of the game, leaving Gavin Wimsatt to play quarterback. He did throw a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but also threw a big interception that was nearly returned for a score.
Overall, it was a fourth straight loss, which is all that really counts, but they hung with Tennesee for four quarters, which was impressive considering everything working against them.
In an exciting game, there were a number of excellent pictures, and here are the best ones from Kentucky’s loss to Tennessee.
