Next up: Arkansas

[CincinnatiVols]

So obviously we have a week off to regroup, but next up is at Arkansas. I know their QB Taylon Green has been solid but unfamiliar with what their defense looks like.

I assume Tennessee will shut down the between the tackles run game so our defense needs to stay sharp on the quick passes and QB run.

Is their defense closer to NC State or Oklahoma? If we get by this the only other true road games are Georgia and Vandy.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Arkansas is mistake-prone. We will have multiple interceptions. Their defense is not on the same plane as Oklahoma. Get healthy and have a good two weeks of preparation and we will clobber them.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Gives Arky an extra week to grow their turf. Pack the long spikes.

 

[WillisWG]

Their D is between State and OU more along the line of the Barn's and Vandy's

 

[madbamahater]

Just score points. Hopefully we can get the OL back up to par over the next 2 weeks. Gonna need them for the brutal stretch

 

[ENGRVOL]

This bye is coming perfectly. If the game was this week then arky is coming off a big win against Auburn full of confidence and we are coming off an emotional win on the road. Arky has to play a tough Texas A&M defense next week at a neutral site and we get another week to get our offensive tackles healthy.

We haven’t won in razorback country in two decades and a win here really makes it almost impossible for us not to be in the playoffs.

 

[VOLfrombama]

The OL desperately needs to get healthy and fast. This bye couldn’t come at a better time.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

Arky has a though road game at Texas A&M while we rest and prepare. I expect we win but 2+ scores

I’d be more nervous about this game if it was this Saturday but we get an extra week to heal and prepare. That QB they have looked legit in their first game anyway. Not sure how he’s looked since. This kind of feels like a potential trap game but I like how tough our team is.

Against UAB and the Barn, his completion rate was ugly <45% but rushed for nice yardage both games but we take those runs away from him.

 

[vol_sec]

This one might be tougher than people suspect. I saw a poll here on which game UT would list first and Arkansas wasn’t even listed. But never underestimate a Petrino offense imo. I’m glad they have two week to heal the oline before the game in case it turns into a shootout

The line should be a double digit favorite for the visiting VOLS

Arkansas plays Texas A&M next week in Dallas. It seems like they always find a way to lose that game, but kinda hope they win it. I'd like another win vs a top 25 team.

That’s good to hear. He looked like a serious weapon in that first one.

All I know is they have an awesome long and short snapper...my nephew

Yeah, maybe a quadruple OT win would be nice.

Arky will be playing in their 6th straight game which will be challenging for them especially from an injury standpoint.

Their Offense is both dangerous and self-destructing in nature. Their defense has been solid but not really tested, nor will it be prior to the our game with them.

We'll just use the ole' Buck Center to neutralize him.

Win is the last time Tennessee has won @ Arkansas. I think it has been a while. Another chance to get a rare win (not sure we have played there a lot).

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Its an SEC game on the road and we will be ranked in the top 5. Arky will be motivated and play over their heads. Their QB looked good against Auburn yesterday but he was about all they had on offense. Auburn self destructed on offense.

 

[swampfoxfan]

I'm 100% Tennessee takes care of business against Arkansas.
Which sets up a huge show down vs Alabama weather or not they beat Georgia.

Arkansas QB did not complete 50% of his passes with 2 pics against a below average Auburn D. He did run for 80 yards but it took 18 attempts. They had 334 yards in offense. Arkansas D is average at best. Auburn had 443 yards and would have won if they weren’t a turnover machine.

We just beat Oklahoma by 10 points without 2 starters on the line. Oklahoma is much better than Arkansas. I will be shocked if we don’t win by more than 17.
