Nico Iamaleava and the No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers are heading into Fayetteville for a highly anticipated SEC showdown against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday night.
The Volunteers are off to a strong 4-0 start this season, but ESPN analyst Booger McFarland believes their undefeated run could be in jeopardy at Razorback Stadium.
During the ESPN Halftime Report of Saturday afternoon’s SEC matchup between No. 9 Missouri and No. 25 Texas A&M, McFarland put Tennessee on upset watch. He expects Arkansas to keep the game close into the fourth quarter, highlighting the elite play of SEC rushing leader Ja’Quinden Jackson and the Razorbacks’ home-field advantage as key factors in a potential upset.
Arkansas is 3-2 to start the year with losses coming to the No. 16 Oklahoma State Cowboys and the No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies.
Tennessee is listed as a 13.5-point favorite over Arkansas. Saturday night’s game will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET.
