Milton, Wright, Sampson power No. 21 Tennessee to a 33-27 win over Kentucky

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- , Every time No. 21 Tennessee seemed on the verge of losing a slim lead to Kentucky, a unit would step up with a timely play to maintain it just a little bit. Joe Milton III passed for a touchdown, Jaylen Wright and Dylan Sampson rushed for scores and Charles Campbell kicked four field goals to help No. 21 Tennessee outlast Kentucky 33-27 on Saturday night. Sampson's 12-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter provided a nine-point cushion the Volunteers (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) needed as the Wildcats (5-3, 2-3) continued fighting back behind a season-high 372-yard passing performance by Devin Leary . Alex Raynor made a 28-yard field goal with 4:24 remaining to get Kentucky within a touchdown, but a big run by Sampson on Tennessee's subsequent drive helped consume the clock and clinch a game the Vols led throughout but never really controlled.
