Kentucky drops hype video for ‘Border Battle’ with Tennessee

Kentucky and Tennessee are two 4-win teams looking to close strong in November to get to bowl eligibility. The Wildcats are expecting a battle from their bordering SEC East rivals.

On Thursday, UK shared a hype video for Saturday night’s rivalry clash in Lexington:

Tennessee and Kentucky’s records (4-5; 4-4) are similar, but their paths to getting there have differed greatly. The Volunteers started the season 1-4, but have won three of their last four. In the one loss, to Alabama, UT put up a better fight than most people expected. Kentucky started 2-0 before dropping three-straight conference games. Since then, Mark Stoops’ troops have gone 2-1, beating Arkansas and Missouri but falling to Georgia.

Saturday’s game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and will air on the SEC Network.
