Kentucky has ended one streak with Tennessee.

Kentuckians donated a record 3,503 pints of blood to defeat Tennessee in the 23rd annual Big Blue Crush, a yearly blood battle between UK and Tennessee. The weeklong battle, which takes place before the UK-Tennessee football game, helps to ensure an adequate blood supply is available during the holidays.

UK’s win snapped a seven-year losing streak to Tennessee.

“There are two streaks we’ve got to break,” head coach Joker Phillips said at the beginning of the blood drive. “We haven’t won (the blood drive) since 2002. At the end of this week, I expect one of them to be broken. In two weeks, we’ll take care of the other one.”

Now it’s time for the football streak.
