Mark Stoops explains why Tennessee is difficult to prepare for in practice

The game of the week in the SEC on Saturday will pit No. 19 Kentucky at No. 3 Tennessee.

The Volunteers have had it rolling in 2022, especially on offense, as they’re off to a 7-0 start to the season.

“It’s almost impossible for your scout team to simulate anything as fast as they do or execute like they do,” Stoops admitted.
