Tennessee football road woes: Are Vols more in danger vs. Kentucky or Missouri?


Listen Later

Tennessee's road woes are looking more like reality than myth.

Alabama rarely has been more beatable during Nick Saban's tenure than it was Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Vols owned the first half. They were up by two scores at halftime, and their domination was more lopsided than that.

And then Tennessee experienced an all-systems failure in the second half and watched No. 8 Alabama run away with a 34-20 victory.

The Vols have not won in Tuscaloosa since 2003. Not coincidentally, they have not won in The Swamp since 2003, either.

In real time, here's what's most concerning about the Vols' road struggles: They'll play at Kentucky on Saturday and must play at No. 16 Missouri on Nov. 11.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John Adams examine what went wrong in the second half in Tuscaloosa and just how vulnerable Tennessee is against Kentucky. The Wildcats are no Alabama, but they beat Florida in Lexington.
