For the first time since 2007 Kentucky<\/strong> is bowl eligible before the end of October. With four games left in the season the Cats can now focus on improving their destination. The first of those contests is Saturday when they face a dangerous Ole Miss squad. In Previewing Mississippi at Kentucky we begin with a look back at the huge win over Tennessee.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 29-26 win over the Volunteers <\/a>was only the second victory for Kentucky over Tennessee since 1984. The Cats were dominated in every major stat against the Vols but still managed to pull out a win. In addition Kentucky had four turnovers all coming on fumbles. However Matt House’s<\/strong> defense bent but didn’t break holding UT to three field goals off the turnovers.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/peteredmiston\/status\/924477407771447296<\/p>\n Quarterback Stephen Johnson<\/a> went down late in the third quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. Drew Barker<\/a> came in and promptly fumbled two plays later. Trailing 26-21 Johnson returned to lead the Cats to victory on an 11 yard touchdown run. A two-point conversion from Johnson to Benjamin Snell Jr.<\/a> gave the Cats a three point lead. That capped off a career night from Snell who rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n As for Johnson he added to his already impressive resume as Kentucky quarterback. In addition to his 12-6 record as starter he entered some exclusive company with the win.<\/p>\n Stephen Johnson is the first Kentucky quarterback to defeat both Louisville and Tennessee since Turner Gregg in 1924<\/p>\n — Corey Price (@coreyp08) October 30, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nA Wild One In Lexington<\/h4>\n
