Comments
Here’s a battle between two 2-3 teams, one which has exceeded expectations so far and another which has disappointed for the most part. Tennessee is coming off a bye week. Last season Tennessee roared through their November games and made it to a bowl game. For Tennessee, this game hinges around a quarterback named Jarrett Guarantano. When he’s on, he’s very good. When he’s off, he’s really off. I actually believe this is a fairly even game. Feleipe Franks, the Arkansas quarterback, gives the hogs the edge in this one. He isn’t perfect but he’s a little more consistent than Guarantano. Arkansas wins a close one.
