FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – No. 4 Tennessee football hits the SEC road again as it tries to stay undefeated against Arkansas.
The Vols (4-0, 1-0 SEC) should be confident and well rested after an open week. They are ranked No. 1 in scoring offense (54 ppg) and No. 2 in scoring defense (7 ppg) in the nation.
Tennessee beat Oklahoma on the road. If the Vols can beat Arkansas (3-2, 1-1) in a second straight road game, they would return to Knoxville unbeaten for a four-game home stand.
