Arkansas upsets Tennessee in 1st win vs. top-5 team since '07 - ESPN

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Malachi Singleton scored on an 11-yard run with 1:17 remaining to lift Arkansas to a 19-14 win over No. 4 Tennessee on Saturday night.

The Razorbacks (4-2, 2-1 SEC) overcame a 14-3 third-quarter deficit to notch their first win over an AP top-5 team since 2007 against No. 1 LSU. They had lost 18 straight against such teams entering Saturday.

It was also their first home win over a top-5 opponent since beating the No. 3 Volunteers in 1999. Singleton, the backup to starting quarterback Taylen Green, led the game-winning drive after the Boise State transfer exited the game with an injury.

«Our kids, our coaches did a wonderful job of preparing our guys and making them believe that we can go win tonight,» Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said. «These guys are happy; they're not surprised. If we have the same amount of turnovers, we can play with anybody.

»You get into coaching for moments like what just happened, and it's to see the kids and the smiles on their face and the hard work that they do, because there's a lot of teams that can't get to that feeling. We did tonight."

Along with No. 1 Alabama's loss at Vanderbilt earlier in the day, it marked the first time two top-5 teams from the same conference lost on the same regular-season weekend since Oct. 6, 2012, when No. 4 LSU and No. 5 Georgia were beaten. It was also the first time two top-5 teams were defeated by unranked opponents since No. 4 Miami and No. 5 Florida State lost Oct. 30, 2004.

Singleton completed 2 of 3 passes for 31 yards and ran four times for 12 yards and the go-ahead touchdown. Ja'Quinden Jackson added 57 yards rushing and a touchdown on 20 carries, and Andrew Armstrong led Arkansas with nine receptions for 132 yards.
