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.

During his weekly media availability Monday, Wildcats coach Mark Stoops talked about just how difficult it is to defend Josh Heupel’s fast-paced offense.

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

Just how good has Tennessee been offensively this season?

The Volunteers rank first nationally among FBS programs in scoring offense (50.1 points) and total offense (571.7 yards).

The Wildcats’ game at Tennessee is set for 7 p.m. (ET) on Saturday night and will be televised by ESPN.
