The Tennessee vs. Kentucky rivalry has historically been dominated by the Volunteers. Tennessee leads the overall series record 82-26-9 over Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Three of Kentucky’s wins, however, have come since 2011. The Wildcats beat the Volunteers 10-7 in 2011, 29-26 in 2017 and 34-7 in 2020. Mark Stoops is responsible for 2 of those wins during his impressive tenure.<\/p>\n

From 1953 to 1959, Kentucky beat Tennessee 6 of 7 games. Tennessee’s longest winning streak, on the other hand, came from 1985 to 2010 — 26.<\/p>\n

Josh Heupel has Tennessee’s program thinking of becoming a national powerhouse once again, while Stoops has built an impressive program in Lexington as well.<\/p>\n

This rivalry used to be appropriately named the “Beer Barrel Trophy” from 1925 through 1999. That trophy and name have since been retired.<\/p>\n
