The Hogs have beaten No. Tennessee and the fans have stormed the field. It's the first time Arkansas has knocked off a top-5 team in Fayetteville since 1999 against the Vols
Tennessee came out of the locker room on fire, scoring on back-to-back drives and going up 14-3. Instead of laying down and dying like we've seen the Hogs do time after time, Arkansas played a clean game, sure up the defense, and scored enough to take down the No. 4 team in the Nation.
Taylen Green has received the lion's share of criticism this season. But he threw for 266 yards with a 70 percent completion rate and zero turnovers. It was the most complete game the offense has played since UAPB, even if it had a had time finishing in Tennessee territory. Regardless, the greatest thing the offense did was hold onto the ball for 35 minutes and keep it away from Tennessee.
The defense, however, was amazing, holding Nico Iamaleava to 156 yards and a completion percentage of 57 percent. The Hogs gave up 176 yards on the ground but held the Vols in check down the stretch. After going five games, the defensive line finally showed why everyone thought they were the best squad on the team. They sacked Iamaleava four times, partially leading to his lackluster performance.
It's just killer that the Hogs are a few plays from being undefeated with a bye week and LSU coming to Fayetteville the week after.
