LEXINGTON, Ky.

- Cedric Houston ran for 87 yards and a touchdown, and Tennessee (10-2, 6-2) used a dominating defense to hold Kentucky to 187 yards and clinch a share of the SEC East division title with Georgia and Florida.

Kentucky (4-8, 1-7) led 7-3 at halftime but recorded only five first downs in the second half in the final game of its first season under coach Rich Brooks. Four of Tennessee's last five opponents have scored seven points or fewer.

Tennessee finished with 270 yards of offense in cold, windy conditions. But the offense turned in a 13-play, 66-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes to seal the win on Houston's 10-yard run with 1:27 left.

Tennessee's only touchdown to that point came on an 18-yard pass from Casey Clausen to Mark Jones 90 seconds into the second half.
