Remember when Tennessee was the "big boy" in this used-to-be yearly rivalry, and Arkansas was stumbling along just trying to win a couple or three SEC games? Tennessee with Peyton Manning would hang half-a-hundred on Danny Ford's bunch in Knoxville, on their way to 10 or more wins. Maybe the Vols best assemblage of talent that still didn't win anything, the 2000 crew, clubbed Arkansas in Knoxville 63-20. But the gap between the programs seemed to narrow considerably on the field in 2001-02, and the Hogs finally put a hurting on UT in 2007. So, sor the first time since Tennessee's win in 2007 in Knoxville, the Hogs and Volunteers meet at Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The Hogs are looking for their ninth win in 10 games, while the Vols haven't won an SEC game yet in Derek Dooley's second season at the helm in Knoxville. Arkansas is favored by 15 points and has the high-powered offense that Tennessee once boasted of, while the Volunteers have been saddled with injuries and too much youth to play complete games against the top SEC foes. We invite you in to this weekly Arkansas live game blog, as we keep you up-to-date with all the happenings, record-breaking, strategies, injuries and everything else that pertains to this SEC clash between the Hogs and Vols.
