KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The reputations of Arkansas and Tennessee suggest a contrast in styles between the Razorbacks' smashmouth approach and a school that bills itself as Wide Receiver U.
It hasn't worked out that way this season.
After four games, Tennessee has more carries and yards rushing than the Razorbacks. Arkansas' Drew Morgan has twice as many catches and three times as many yards receiving as any of Tennessee's wideouts.
Those unusual trends may help explain why both teams has failed to live up to expectations after opening the season in the Top 25. Arkansas (1-3, 0-1 SEC) has run the ball more often lately, while Tennessee (2-2, 0-1) wants its receivers more involved.
