Here's a position-by-position look at Saturday night's Tennessee-Kentucky football game at Neyland Stadium:
 Vols |
 |
 Wildcats |
| OL | COMMENTS | OL |
|
Neither line is exactly great run-blocking but UK has surrendered roughly half as many sacks as Tennessee's blocking front. |
|

|
Kentucky will start freshman Randall Cobb. Who Tennessee starts is still to be determined and is probably a moot point anyway. |
|
| RB's | COMMENTS | RB's |
|
Neither team has anyone ranked among the SEC's top 10 rushers but I think Vol senior Arian Foster will be looking to go out with a bang. |
|
| WR's | COMMENTS | WR's |
|
Kentucky's best receiver, Dicky Lyons, is sidelined by injury. Tennessee's wideouts have underachieved but at least they're able to play. |

 Vols |

 Wildcats |
| DL | COMMENTS | DL |
|
Maybe he's done it with smoke and mirrors but UT aide Dan Brooks has fielded a surprisingly solid front four with only three competent tackles. |
|
|
| LB's | COMMENTS | LB's |
|
MLB Ellix Wilson has been downright heroic and Vol teammate Rico McCoy has been playing better of late. |
|
| DB's | COMMENTS | DB's |
|
Any secondary that features Eric Berry has got to be better than the secondary on the other sideline. |
|
| S. Teams | COMMENTS | S. Teams |
|
The Big Blue's Tim Masthay leads the SEC in punting at 45.5. Both UK's Lones Seiber and UT's Daniel Lincoln have struggled on field goals. |
|
 Vols |
 |
 Wildcats |
| | INTANGIBLES | |
|
The home field advantage, Senior Day, Phillip Fulmer's farewell game ... How can the Vols NOT be fired up for this one? |
|
|
| | PREDICTION | |
|
Tennessee's win streak in the series (23 games) won't last forever. It looks like it will last another year, though. UT 17, UK 13. |
