Arkansas blasts ‘Rocky Top’ through Razorback Stadium speakers after beating Tennessee
Published:
Arkansas defeated No. 4 Tennessee 19-14 on Saturday night in Fayetteville.
The win was worthy of a field-storming for the Razorback faithful. It was Arkansas’ first home win over a team ranked in the top 5 of the AP Poll since 1999.
After the field was full of Arkansas fans, the program decided to blast Tennessee’s Rocky Top fight song through the speakers for all to enjoy. Here’s video of the moment via Mason Choate:

Arkansas’ last home win vs. an AP Top 5 team came on Nov. 13, 1999. That game was also against Tennessee — the year immediately following the Vols’ most recent national championship.
Arkansas has now won 4 consecutive games over Tennessee. These programs are slated to meet again next season in Knoxville, so the Vols will get their shot at revenge in a year’s time.
This is a monumental win for the Razorbacks, who are now in good shape to reach bowl eligibility. Arkansas has 4 wins on the season and will likely be a big favorite against Mississippi State and Louisiana Tech later this fall.
Arkansas will be idle in Week 7 before hosting LSU on Oct. 19.
