The Tennessee Vols were off last weekend following their thrilling 41-34 overtime against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Tennessee’s bye week came at the perfect time, as the Vols were dealing with numerous injuries after the first five games of the season.
The Volunteers are set to get a couple of key players back for their matchup this weekend against the Arkansas Razorbacks, including defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs, who has yet to play this season.
Tennessee moves up multiple spots in ESPN’s college football power rankings
Despite not playing last weekend, the Vols moved up two spots in ESPN’s college football power rankings this week.
Tennessee went from No 13 to No. 11 in ESPN’s power rankings.
The Vols can thank the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Texas Longhorns, both of whom suffered upset losses last weekend, for the assist in moving up in this week’s rankings.
“Although the Volunteers are off to a 4-1 start, quarterback Joey Aguilar believes they can be even more explosive going forward as he continues to master Josh Heupel’s system,” wrote ESPN’s Max Olson. “On throws of 20 or more air yards this season, Aguilar is 10-of-19 for 443 yards, six touchdowns and one interception. Getting that deep shot element back in the Vols’ offense has been a big deal after Nico Iamaleava went 13-of-44 on throws of 20-plus yards this past season.”
Tennessee and Arkansas are set to kick off at 4:15 PM ET in Knoxville on Saturday.
