Tennessee-Kentucky football: Time, TV channel, watch online for Week 9 (October 28, 2017)

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Tennessee football is looking for its first road win of the season at Kroger Field today against host Kentucky.

The Vols also are looking to end a three-game losing streak that dates back to September.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones is on one of the hottest seats in America, as rumors have swirled about his coaching future amid the team’s struggles this season.

The Vols haven’t scored an offensive touchdown in 14 quarters, dating back to a 17-13 win over UMass at Neyland Stadium on Sept. 23.

Tennessee redshirt freshman QB Jarrett Guarantano is expected to make his third-career start and second consecutive road start.

The Vols will be without star junior running back John Kelly, who is suspended for the game after being cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana during a traffic stop Tuesday night.

Jones said he’ll turn to freshman Ty Chandler to handle the bulk of the load, but sophomore Carlin Fils-aime is back from injury, and freshman Tim Jordan also has impressed in his limited work this season.
