Arkansas prepares to face Tennessee's potent run game on October 10

Arkansas football is set to host No. 14 Tennessee on Saturday, October 10, amid concerns over their run defense. The Razorbacks (2-3, 0-2 SEC) are struggling against the run, allowing 146 yards per game, while Tennessee is averaging 240.6 yards. The Volunteers are coming off a strong performance against Auburn, where they rushed for 237 yards, led by junior running back DeSean Bishop’s career-high 220 yards. Arkansas defensive coordinator Ron Roberts expressed the need for improvement in tackling, especially on the perimeter. Failure to address these defensive issues could extend Arkansas's losing streak in the SEC to eight at home and 14 overall.
