Josh Heupel recaps Vols’ loss at Arkansas

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel recaps the Vols’ loss at Arkansas in Week 6.

Arkansas (4-2, 2-1 SEC) defeated No. 4 Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) on Saturday for a top five win.

75,573 were in attendance at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the sixth-largest crowd in stadium history.

Fourth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media following the game.

“Disappointing night for us as a football team,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said. “I didn’t think we handled, or started fast, didn’t do the ordinary things at a high level. Offensively, hurt ourselves consistently there in the first half. They were able to extend some drives, some third-down conversions.

“End of the day, starting with me, it wasn’t good enough tonight, and between all three phases, we’ve got to find a way to be on the right side of the scoreboard. We got to get better, so at this point you got an opportunity to come together, pull harder, fight stronger, play for each other and continue to grow. Still a lot out there, obviously, as everybody sees, but the main thing is we got to continue to get better.”
