Arkansas Football has announced a very expected move when it comes to this Saturday’s game against Tennessee.
In a tradition adopted by most schools at this point for a big game, Arkansas will be doing a stripe-out with the fans in Razorback Stadium for the Tennessee game.
The game will be played under the lights at 7:30 p.m. ET in front of a stadium that holds 76,000 spectators.
Stripe out. At night. Versus an orange team.

Tennessee is the first of four ranked teams that Arkansas will host this season. The Razorbacks will also host LSU on Oct. 19, Ole Miss on Nov. 2, and Texas on Nov. 16.
Arkansas is 3-2 on the season but has only played one game in Razorback Stadium this year. Arkansas played Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Little Rock, AR, Oklahoma State in Stillwater, OK, Auburn in Auburn, AL, and Texas A&M in Dallas, TX. The Razorbacks’ lone home game so far was a 37-27 win over UAB in Week 3.
Tennessee, meanwhile, will enter Fayetteville with a 4-0 record and the No. 4 ranking in the nation. The Vols are coming off of an open date but have already recorded a pair of Top 25 wins including a victory over No. 15 Oklahoma in a night game from Norman, OK.
Tennessee is 13-6 all-time against Arkansas but has failed to capture a win in their last three meetings, dating back to 2011. The Vols dominated the yearly series in the 90s but the two don’t share the same history as other SEC programs due to Arkansas’s late arrival to the SEC in 1991.
The Vols are a 13.5-point favorite at the time of this publication.
