FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Arkansas Razorbacks look to rebound after a loss against Texas A&M with a matchup against No. 4 Tennessee.

It's the first time the two teams will meet since the Razorbacks won in 2020, 24-13, also in Fayettville. The Razorbacks and Volunteers haven't met much in recent years, with only eight games since 2000, but Tennessee hasn't beaten the Hogs since 2007.

Despite the recent success for Arkansas, Tennessee still leads the all-time series 13-6, which dates back to 1907 when the Volunteers won the inaugural game, 14-2.
