Where has this offense been? Arkansas leads 3-0 after the first quarter, giving Tennessee its first scoreless opening quarter of the season.

Arkansas looks as clean as ever in the first drive of the game. The Hogs received the ball first and marched down the field for 74 yards, settling for a field goal on the one-yard line. The offensive line was solid, giving quarterback Taylen Green enough time to throw for 50 yards. They're also getting a decent push in the rushing game. Of course, they need to score at the one, but not for a bad initial drive.

It's even better when the defense can hold the explosive Nico Iamaleava and Tennessee to a three-and-out for negative five yards. More impressively, Arkansas gave Tennessee just one full offensive drive. If the Hogs can keep up the intensity, the Vols could have a night similar to the one it had against Oklahoma.

Arkansas had a decent drive going again but turned it over on downs after Var'Keyes Gumms caught a ball with his knee on the ground right at the line to gain.
