The No.11 University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team has officially made it onto the college football map by going 8-1 on the season and 5-0 in Southeast Conference play. Arkansas is in control of its own destiny. That is, win two of the final three games on the schedule and the Hogs get their ticket punched to the SEC Championship game to play the Florida Gators and a chance to earn the SEC’s automatic BCS berth in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. On Saturday, Arkansas can come nearer to meeting its goals by defeating the No.13 Tennessee Volunteers in a game to be televised nationally by ESPN2 and kicking off at 6:00 p.m. (EST).

With Florida already having won the SEC Eastern Division title and the Vol’s losing any chance at securing an at large BCS bid due to last weeks 24-28 loss to LSU in Knoxville, Tennessee can only play for pride and a chance at the better non BCS bowls the SEC is aligned with.

Odds makers have installed the Razorbacks the favorite at a -5.5 point chalk. This is the first time Arkansas has been favored in a game against Tennessee since it entered the SEC in 1992. A total of 47 has also been established.

Both Arkansas and Tennessee will be starting different quarterbacks in the game. For Arkansas, sophomore Casey Dick will be under center in place of true freshman Mitch Mustain who was benched after the first series of downs against South Carolina last week.

Redshirt freshman Jonathan Crompton will more than likely get the nod to start under center for Tennessee due to the high ankle-sprain sustained by Erik Ainge in the South Carolina game on Oct. 28. Ainge started against LSU but aggravated the injury and was replaced by Crompton in the first quarter of that game.

This game might be the biggest SEC game the Hogs have been involved with since head coach Houston Nutt’s first season in 1998 when Arkansas went to 2nd ranked Tennessee undefeated at 8-0 and ranked 8th nationally. Arkansas lost the game 24-27 and went on to play Michigan in the Florida Citrus Bowl while Tennessee won the National Championship.

Arkansas’ two-headed monster tandem of running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones will give the Tennessee defense a good test. The duo are the best running combination in the SEC and McFadden, now officially a Heisman Trophy candidate, leads the SEC in rushing.
