GRR: University of Kentucky
Tennessee may well be the best D1AA program in the country—we at GRR certainly thought that was true in 2021-22 and somebody has to prove us wrong.
Thomas More defeated University of Kentucky 24-15 Saturday night in a matchup that is fast becoming a strong rivalry.
The teams were evenly-matched through much of the game although the Saints held a decided territorial advantage. It was tenacious and aggressive UK defense that kept the game in the balance throughout.
The University of Kentucky has named Sam Enari as its new Head Coach.
Outgoing Head Coach Gary Anderson remains involved with the program but has had to take a step back because of day-job and personal commitments.
The University of Kentucky beat the Citadel 12-10 in the final of the Furman Invitational 7s to take the tournament.
The trophies all ended up in DI team hands in a tournament that mixed DI and DII teams. South Carolina won the Plate final 26-7 over UNC Chapel Hill, and Georgia beat Furman 31-19 for the Bowl.
There really are no easy weekends in the SCRC, and both Tennessee and Kentucky—if they didn't know it already—found that out Saturday.
