Here is our preview for the Tennessee football Volunteers at the Razorbacks.
Coming off a bye week and still on a three-game losing streak, Tennessee football will be looking to right the ship Saturday. The Vols will travel to Fayetteville, Ark. to face the Arkansas Razorbacks at Razorback Stadium.
This is the first meeting between UT and the Hogs since 2015, when Bret Bielema’s team beat Butch Jones’ team 24-20 in Knoxville. Both Bielema and Jones were fired in 2017, with Jeremy Pruitt replacing Jones and Chad Morris replacing Bielema.
Pruitt is obviously still Tennessee football’s head coach, but Sam Pittman now leads Arkansas in his first year. Both desperately need a win today to stay alive for just a .500 record this season. Here is all the information you need for the matchup.

The last time the Vols faced Arkansas on the road, Bobby Petrino was head coach of the Hogs, and Derek Dooley was head coach of Rocky Top. It was back in 2011, and Arkansas won the game in a blowout by a score o 49-7.
UT and Arkansas played each other every year from 1992 to 2002. Currently, the Hogs do have that two-game winning streak in the series, winning in 2011 and 2015, but the Vols lead the all-time series 13-5.
Coming off a 42-31 loss at the Texas A&M Aggies, the Hogs will be looking to rebound this weekend. They have also lost to the Georgia Bulldogs and Auburn Tigers. Their wins are over the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Ole Miss Rebels. However, they only lost to Auburn by two after a controversial call.
Up next for Tennessee football will be a game against Texas A&M at home next week. Arkansas, meanwhile, will then visit the Florida Gators. With two top 10 teams on the slate for both of them, that makes this game even more crucial, as neither can afford to fall to 2-4 if they are going to have a strong finish to this season.
