A final breakdown of the Tennessee-Arkansas game.

The Tennessee Volunteers will take on their second conference opponent of the season on Saturday as they make the trip to the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Volunteers have been a major surprise in the college football season and remain an undefeated program entering week six. Tennessee is a huge favorite heading into this game, but Arkansas has proven that it’s no cakewalk this season.

The biggest factor for Tennessee in this game is whether they can maintain their success on the field. Arkansas has defended itself well against the run this season, but the Volunteers also present a unique challenge. With Tennessee’s wide-spread offense, the Razorbacks will have to work to stop the run with lightsabers and without adding extra safeties to the mix. If they can’t, Tennessee has everything at their disposal.

The Razorbacks have also found a way to make their offense explosive with the use of quarterback Taylen Green. Whether throwing or running the ball, Green has added an exciting element to Arkansas’ offense. He tends to play a bit of hero ball, so if Tennessee can take advantage of that and force some mistakes, they’ll be in good shape.

Overall, looking at the matchup, Tennessee should do well in this game and move on next week with another win under its belt. It’s another big week to see Nico Iamaleava play against an SEC team and get back on the road as well. A good match to build on and build some more confidence before the schedule really starts to improve.
