FAYETTEVILLE -- For the second time this season, the University of Arkansas could face an SEC opponent which starts a backup quarterback.

By: Justin Hawkins "The expectation, the standard, is to play elite defense here, not just good defense. The standard is to be elite." - Tennessee Vols HC Josh Heupel The Tennessee Volunteers, behind a heavy defensive push and elite rushing attack, came out victorious at Neyland Stadium

IIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT’SSSSSSS MONDAY!!!!!! Which means it’s time to jump into an orange and green hot air balloon and float through the Tennessee Volunteer-related thoughts drifting around inside...

Tennessee's Dee Williams posted the go-ahead score on a punt return, and Gabe Jeudy-Lally and Kamal Hadden snatched fourth-quarter interceptions as the No. 19 Volunteers held off the Texas A&M Aggies

The word “elite” was tossed about a bunch early Saturday evening in regards to Tennessee’s defense following the 20-13 downing of Texas A&M.

Tennessee defensive end James Pearce Jr. and punt returner Dee Williams earned SEC weekly honors for their performances against Texas A&M.

Vols' punt returned Dee Williams was Tennessee's MVP in its 20-13 victory over Texas A&M at Neyland Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Dee Williams returned a punt 39 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to put No. 19 Tennessee ahead for the first time and the Volunteers shut down Texas A&M the rest of the way in a 20-13 victory Saturday. “That’s something I’ve worked hard for all season,” Williams said. Vols punter Jackson Ross backed up the Aggies to the 1 — with Williams keeping the ball from going into the end zone.

Hopes of an SEC East title remain, but they'll hinge on defense, special teams and the Joe Milton-led offense capturing what has eluded it.

SEATTLE (AP) — Michael Penix Jr. threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze with 1:38 remaining after another debatable fourth-down decision by Oregon, and Camden Lewis missed a 43-yard field goal attempt on the final play as No. 7 Washington held off No. 8 Oregon 36-33 on Saturday in another wild chapter to their heated rivalry.
