Mon Sep 23 17:14:28 UTC 2024: ## Tennessee Vols Set for Primetime Clash with Arkansas in Fayetteville

**FAYETTEVILLE, AR -** The Tennessee Volunteers will face off against the Arkansas Razorbacks in a highly anticipated primetime matchup on October 5th. The game, scheduled to be played in Fayetteville, Arkansas, will kick off at either 7:00 PM or 7:30 PM ET and will be broadcast on ESPN or ABC, the SEC announced on Monday. The specific time and network will be finalized after the games played on September 28th.

The Vols, currently undefeated at 4-0 and 1-0 in the SEC, will enter the game well-rested after a bye week following their 25-15 victory over Oklahoma.

The Razorbacks, sitting at 3-1 and 1-0 in the SEC, have earned some national recognition after defeating Auburn 24-14. They face off against No. 24 Texas A&M this Saturday in Arlington, Texas, hoping to impress poll voters ahead of their showdown with Tennessee.

This matchup holds historical significance, with the Vols leading the all-time series 13-6. However, Arkansas has won the last three encounters, including a 24-13 victory in 2020. Notably, that game was played under COVID-19 restrictions, with only 16,500 fans allowed in attendance.

Tennessee, currently ranked No. 5 in the AP Top 25 and No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, is poised to climb higher in the rankings by October 5th. This is due to the highly anticipated matchup between No. 2 Alabama and No. 1 Georgia, with the loser likely falling behind the undefeated Vols.

The upcoming game is expected to be a highly competitive affair, showcasing two of the SEC’s most formidable teams.
