Tennessee Volunteers (4-0) vs. Arkansas Razorbacks (3-2)
The Tennessee Volunteers showcase a formidable rushing attack, underscored by Dylan Sampson’s stellar performance this season with 449 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. His dynamic play, marked by a 6.5-yard average per carry, was pivotal in Tennessee’s recent victories, including a significant 25-15 win over Oklahoma and a crushing 51-10 shutout against NC State. The Volunteers’ receiving corps, led by Dont’e Thornton Jr., who boasts 242 receiving yards and three touchdowns, has equally contributed to the team’s undefeated start, providing reliable options for quarterback Nico Iamaleava.
Conversely, the Arkansas Razorbacks’ ground game is spearheaded by Ja’Quinden Jackson, who has accumulated 509 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Jackson’s efforts were notable even in a narrow 17-21 loss to Texas A&M and helped secure a 24-14 victory over Auburn. However, the Razorbacks’ receiving game struggles with consistency, highlighted by Andrew Armstrong’s 420 yards but no touchdowns. Arkansas relies heavily on their running game this season to build momentum and manage the clock effectively.
Nico Iamaleava QB vs. Taylen Green QB
Tennessee’s quarterback, Nico Iamaleava, has been phenomenal this season as he has completed 69.3% of his passes for 892 and seven touchdowns. His highest passer rating, which is accurate shows off his capacity to process plays with a 176.2 passer rating, and is backed by his longest completed pass of 66 yards. Although Nico has endured a bit of pressure with 4 total sacks, his mindset and speed will be beneficial, especially with Arkansas’s attacking defensive punch.
On the other hand Taylen Green of Arkansas has had a rougher season with 1,236 yards but a completion of 54.3%. However, his versatility enhances the rashers’ advanced level of play. He has 5 interceptions and has been sacked 12 times, indicating some lack of poise. His role will be imperative especially in going through the defense of the Volunteers, which has sometimes been prone to lapses in covering zones.
