KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee and Arkansas will battle on a soggy Neyland Stadium turf tonight to see which preseason media darling can get things on track and which one will spiral further into the land of question marks.
The Volunteers are coming off a heartbreaking 28-27 loss to Florida in Gainesville where they blew a 13-point fourth-quarter lead to fall to 2-2 and drop their 11th straight against UF.
Arkansas, meanwhile, has lost three consecutive games, though the Razorbacks looked a little more like themselves in an overtime loss to Texas A&M.
With Georgia and Alabama on the horizon, this is close to a must-win game for coach Butch Jones and the Vols, who are a couple of plays away from being 4-0.
