On Halloween night, the Tennessee Volunteers will extend spooky season by wearing their “dark mode” uniforms in a blackout game against the Kentucky Wildcats at Neyland Stadium. This move brings back memories of their dominant performance in the same uniforms two years ago when the Cats suffered a 44-6 loss.
Kentucky, with quarterback Will Levis struggling and a limited offense averaging just over 300 yards per game, faces a tough challenge against Tennessee’s formidable defense. The Vols, ranked No. 3 in opponent points and yards per game, have a 3-1 record in their black jerseys under coach Josh Heupel.
Heading into this matchup, Tennessee is a 15.5-point favorite, opening as a double-digit favorite over the Wildcats. Despite Kentucky’s recent offensive struggles, Tennessee’s impressive 6-1 record, with wins over Florida and Alabama, has them in the playoff picture and looking to continue their dominance over the Cats.
The game is set for 7:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network, marking the fourth consecutive week that Kentucky will play in the primetime slot. With the Cats looking to break their losing streak in Knoxville, it promises to be a thrilling Halloween weekend showdown between the SEC rivals.
