The Tennessee Volunteers weren’t caught looking ahead against Kentucky, blasting the Wildcats back to the prohibition era.

Tennessee looks like a team on a mission right now and Kentucky certainly wasn’t going to be the one to stop them on Saturday.

The Volunteers ripped the Wildcats to shreds in a 44-6 victory that sets them up for an epic showdown with Georgia.

Hendon Hooker continued his Heisman Trophy campaign with three touchdowns through the air and one on the ground. Jalin Hyatt had a monster outing with five catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns. The Tennessee defense limited Will Levis to less than 100 yards passing and intercepted him three times.

It was a complete performance against the No. 19 team in the country and it had college football Twitter salivating for more.

Kentucky was coming off an upset of Mississippi State so they had hopes to make it a game. They only trailed 7-6 after one quarter. However, when things went off the rails there was no coming back.

Twitter was merciless in their trolling of Levis and Kentucky as a whole while the Wildcats melted down on message boards.

Tennessee added another ranked victory to their record. They got another Heisman-level performance out of their quarterback. Their defense made another statement. It was certainly a good night for Knoxville.

Attention will certainly turn to the College Football Playoff rankings coming up on Tuesday night and whether or not the Volunteers deserve to be No. 1. Either way, they’ll have the chance to settle that debate on Saturday when they face off with Georgia in a defacto contest for the No. 1 spot.

The way Tennessee is playing at the moment, it’ll be tough to bet against them.
