Arkansas Seeks End to 13-Game SEC Losing Streak
10 Oct
Summary
- Arkansas aims to break a 13-game SEC losing streak.
- Tennessee's quarterback will make his first career start.
- The Volunteers seek their first Fayetteville win since 2001.
The Arkansas Razorbacks are desperately seeking to end their 13-game SEC losing streak, the longest in the conference, when they host Tennessee on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Their last conference victory was on October 26, 2024, against Mississippi State.
Tennessee enters the game with a 4-1 record and ranked No. 15 in the AP poll. The Volunteers are 13.5-point favorites and have not won in Fayetteville since September 8, 2001. Adding a layer of uncertainty, Tennessee sophomore quarterback George MacIntyre is expected to make his first career start, with freshman Faizon Brandon questionable due to injury.
Adding to the stakes, Arkansas also aims to end a 9-game home losing streak against Power 4 teams. Their last home win against such an opponent was a 19-14 victory over then-No. 4 Tennessee on October 5, 2024. The coaching matchup features Ryan Silverfield against Josh Heupel, who previously faced off in 2020 with Silverfield's Memphis team staging a historic comeback win.
