Tennessee rallies to beat Arkansas in Fayetteville behind big game from DeSean Bishop

Tennessee was trailing Arkansas, 14-10 in the fourth quarter on Saturday as the offense wasn’t able to produce a ton. However, as the Volunteers have done for much of the season, they relied on the legs of running back DeSean Bishop to come back and get the 24-17 victory.
Bishop finished with 19 carries for 138 yards and one touchdown, and is coming off a 220-yard, three-touchdown performance against Auburn last week.

Coach Josh Heupel made a big move last week, as he went with George MacIntyre at quarterback. In his first road start, MacIntyre finished with 247 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions on Saturday.
For the Razorbacks, they have been looking for anything positive in the first year of the Ryan Silverfield era. The Razorbacks battled much better than they had in SEC play, but giving up a touchdown with less than two minutes to go is going to sting for Arkansas.
The Volunteers have consistently been one of the most explosive offenses in the country, but are having to do it in a different fashion this year. The schedule gets even tougher next week, as Tennessee welcomes in Keelon Russell and the Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 7 for a 3:30 p.m. ET game in Neyland Stadium.
