There were many wall-breaking plays made by the Kentucky Football 'Cats in their historic 34-7 win over Tennessee, but none more thrilling and game-turning than Jamin Davis' pick-6 of Jarrett Guarantano during the early stages of the second quarter. "I thought I was about to pass out for a second, man. I'm just like sheesh. A pick-6, let me go ahead and get it might as well just run my balls off," Davis said after the game. "And I made it. Hope my momma proud of that one." We know she is, Jamin. We all are. https://twitter.com/UKFootball/status/1317648081630920705 Check out all of those sad orange and white eyes with the signature 'hands-on-head' look. Gorgeous... The 85-yard return nearly gassed Davis before he reached the endzone, but with a trio of teammates by his side, he was able to stumble in for the touchdown. Perhaps even better than the actual play was the immediate boo-birds raining down from the top of Neyland Stadium. Honestly, that was the true symphony. Davis' score gave Kentucky a 14-0 lead with 10 minutes remaining before halftime. It was the second consecutive pick-6 for the 'Cats on back-to-back Tennessee possessions (Kelvin Joseph returned the first) and proved to be a major turning point in the outing. UK followed up Davis' pick with its third interception in a row thanks to Tyrell Ajian on the following Volunteer possession.
