After experiencing a roller-coaster of emotions the last two weeks, Tennessee fans will get a breather on Halloween.
The Vols followed an emphatic home win over then-No. 6 Alabama with a stunning defeat at South Carolina in which the Gamecocks scored 10 points in the final 1:17 to pull the upset.
That was just the latest in an unexpected series of results around the SEC this season, and the Vols have a few tests remaining. Next up is a visit from surprise SEC leader Kentucky, currently ranked No. 9 in the country. The Wildcats' only loss this year was to Alabama back in Week 2, and UK will have plenty of confidence heading into Neyland next weekend.
Tennessee will have to use the week off to refocus in that regard, with a trip to Texas A&M and a home test against LSU still to come.
Here's all you need to know about what's next for the Vols.
