Vols vs Cats Highlights D1AA Weekend

UT vs UK in 2023. Will Fagan photo.

Keep a close eye on the Heart of America, with two very compelling games this week.

In the Liberty Rhode Island at Yale is perhaps the one with the biggest standings ramifications, while Louisville at Western Michigan is a big one for both in the MAC.

Virginia Tech looks to keep rolling in the MARC. In the South, North Carolina's game vs Lander has been postponed due to Hurricane Helene, but some other games are going on. But the one to really watch has to be in the SCRC with Tennessee at Kentucky.

Kentucky is GRR's #1-ranked D1AA team at the moment, and Tennessee is #4. However, we didn't get around to updating the rankings this week, and Tennessee did lose to Ohio State. We had decided to log that as evidence that OSU is very strong.

Tennessee Head Coach Scott Tungay said earlier in the season that he wanted to see more discipline from his side, and certainly they will not be able to afford penalties anywhere inside their half with Wildcat flyhalf Jack Phillips there to get three points whenever they are on offer.

Kentucky has been enjoying a huge season from their back row and it's their work rate and intensity that opens the floor for others to come to the dance.
