UK-Tennessee football rivalry renews Saturday in Knoxville

The annual Kentucky-Tennessee football game is this Saturday, but to use the term "rivalry" might be a misnomer.

There's no argument that both fan bases are bitter rivals; but it's hard to argue about how one-sided things have been on the field in recent years.

The Vols have won 36 of the last 39 games against the Wildcats. Put another way, Kentucky has only taken down Tennessee four times in 40 years. The last time the Wildcats topped the Vols when Tennessee had a winning record was 1984. 

Tennessee enters this weekend's matchup ranked as the No. 7 team in the country and with a 6-1 overall record - the Vols are also 3-1 in SEC conference play.

The Wildcats are 3-5 on the year and 1-5 in SEC action. 

Kickoff is 6:45pm Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
