The Kentucky Wildcats ventured to Knoxville this past Saturday on a six-game winning streak and a legitimate chance to not only strengthen their College Football Playoff résumé but also get one step closer to winning an SEC title . Instead, Kentucky left with a measly six points and an awful lot of questions about what had just occurred.

Tennessee’s 34-6 win was a convincing demonstration of what happens when one of the most talented defenses in the country imposes its will. The Volunteers held Kentucky out of the end zone despite allowing 361 yards, with several key pieces — most notably linebacker Arion Carter — exhibiting exactly why everybody is so terrified of Tennessee’s defensive unit.

Unfortunately for Texas A&M , the Aggies are next on Tennessee’s schedule.
