Dylan Sampson levels Arkansas linebacker en route to key touchdown vs. Razorbacks
Published:
Dylan Sampson is having a good night in Fayetteville.
After a slow start for the offense as a whole, Tennessee’s offense found its groove in the third quarter against Arkansas. Sampson was the primary beneficiary of whatever halftime adjustments were made by Josh Heupel and his staff.
Sampson has already found the end zone twice in the third quarter, including one from short yardage to give Tennessee a 14-3 lead. Sampson was met in the hole by an Arkansas linebacker, but he had no issues powering through to pay dirt.
Here’s a replay of Sampson’s second score:
