Arkansas won 40-21. | Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images </figcaption></figure><p> FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas toppled No.4 Tennessee 19-14 inside Razorback Stadium Saturday. The fans stormed the field. The jubilation could be felt across the state. </p><p> Yet, in the moment, senior defensive lineman Eric Gregory said that the win ranked in the Top Two of his favorite wins as a Razorback. </p><p> Top Two? Beating the No. 4 team in the country isn't good enough for top spot? Until you realize that there is a different UT win that Gregory was also a part of, the 40-21 win over No. 15 Texas where the fans also stormed the field. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> "Definitely Top Two," Gregory said. "Number one was Texas, 2021. This one is definitely top two." </p><p> With the fluidity of rosters in college football, Gregory is one of the few Razorbacks on the team that have felt what the rivalry is about. He is also just one of two remaining players who was on the team under former coach Chad Morris, Hudson Clark is the other. </p><p> It goes back to what Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said at SEC media days about how the two fanbases feel about each other. </p><p> "I feel like they hate Texas more than they like themselves," Sarkisian said. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"> “At times, I feel like they hate Texas more than they like themselves.” <br><br> Steve Sarkisian with some interesting comments regarding the Arkansas fanbase. <br><br> Going to be a fun one in Fayetteville this season. <a href="https://t.co/R3owtR2XiL" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/R3owtR2XiL </a></p> — SEC Unfiltered (@SECUnfiltered) <a href="https://twitter.com/SECUnfiltered/status/1813711245088027044?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> July 17, 2024 </a></blockquote><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><p> Now with the Tennessee win under its belt, the game against Texas now feels much more of a realistic upset opprtunity than it did before Saturday night. Arkansas will still open likely as severe underdogs, as they did in this game, but if magic can strike once, why can't it strike again. </p><p> The Texas game is still more than a month away, first the Razorbacks have to get through a bye week and another ranked opponent in LSU first. The game will kickoff between 5-7 p.m. Oct. 19. A TV Network has not been announced. </p><h2><strong> HOGS FEED: </strong></h2><h3><strong> • </strong><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/football/two-former-vols-get-taste-sweet-victory-with-razorbacks" rel="nofollow"> Two former Vols taste sweet victory with Razorbacks </a></h3><h3><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/football/texas-cornerback-webb-panther-razorbacks-sec" rel="nofollow"><strong> • </strong></a><strong></strong><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/football/fortune-reversal-arkansas-finally-gives-fans-good-home-game" rel="nofollow"> Fortune Reversal: Arkansas Finally Gives Fans Good Home Game </a><br></h3><h3><strong> • </strong><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/arkansas-razorbacks-college-baseball/live-updates-razorbacks-annual-fall-classic-01j9cqx03as1" rel="nofollow"><strong></strong></a><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/men-s-basketball/calipari-starting-from-square-one-with-razorbacks" rel="nofollow"><strong> Calipari, while great recruiter, also teacher at heart </strong></a></h3><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><h3><strong> • </strong><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/football/razorbacks-missouri-tigers-pittman-drinkwitz-aggies-sec" rel="nofollow"><strong> Razorbacks' bowl odds just went up considerably </strong></a></h3><h3><strong> • </strong><a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/football/razorbacks-stripe-out-tennessee-volunteers-sechttps://www.si.com/college/arkansas/men-s-basketball/razorbacks-kansas-jayhawks-texas-purdue-calipari-sec" rel="nofollow"><strong> With countdown on, Hogs fans should keep Kansas game in perspective </strong></a></h3><h3> • <strong> Subscribe and follow us on </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@hogsonsi" rel="nofollow"><strong> YouTube </strong></a><br> • <strong> Follow HogsSI on </strong><a href="https://x.com/hogsonsi" rel="nofollow"><strong> X </strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hogsonsi" rel="nofollow"><strong> Facebook </strong></a></h3><br><p> This article was originally published on www.si.com/college/arkansas as <a href="https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/football/for-some-razorbacks-beating-vols-still-leaves-longhorns-win-at-top?utm_source=RSS" rel="nofollow"> For Some Razorbacks, Beating Vols Still Leaves Longhorns' Win at Top </a> . </p></div></body>
