Arkansas trolls Tennessee by blaring 'Rocky Top' following upset win
Arkansas took a moment to rub it in following a 19-14 upset victory against Tennessee on Saturday. The Razorbacks crowd was soaking in the moment after storming the field following the win, and the speakers blared Rocky Top.
The song is traditionally played by the Volunteers and Arkansas playing it is a direct shot at Tennessee. The crowd certainly seemed to enjoy it, however, as you can view below.
The Razorbacks earned the win on the back of their defense, which gave up only two touchdowns in the win. Additionally, quarterback Taylen Green finished 19-of-27 for 266 yards passing.
Arkansas next moves on to face LSU in Week 8 after a bye this upcoming week.

A few things went right for Arkansas but Pittman gave a ton of credit to his defense. Tennessee, led by Nico Iamaleava, was thought to be one of the better units in college football but Arkansas held them throughout the game, especially in the fourth quarter.
“What a great couple drives there at the end,” Pittman said. “The defense ended up keeping us in it. At the end, won the game for us. So proud for the kids, the coaches, these folks… T-Will (Defensive coordinator Travis Williams) and the guys had them ready to play. They played hard the entire night.”
Turnovers have been a big problem for Arkansas, even if their -2 difference does not seem too bad. Heading into Saturday night, the Hogs had given the ball up nine times in four games — not a recipe for success for any team.
