Arkansas Razorbacks fans are buzzing after their team's thrilling 19-14 win over the Tennessee Volunteers in Week 6. Trailing by 11 points in the second half, the Razorbacks made an epic comeback to claim their first victory over a top-five team since 2007.

With just over a minute left on the clock, backup quarterback Malachi Singleton sealed the game with an 11-yard touchdown run, stepping up after Taylen Green left due to injury.

The excitement wasn’t limited to Arkansas, as seven top-25 teams suffered upsets this week:

  • Syracuse edged out No. 25 UNLV, 44-41 (Friday)
  • SMU took down No. 22 Louisville, 34-27
  • No. 25 Texas A&M crushed No. 9 Missouri, 41-10
  • Vanderbilt shocked No. 1 Alabama, 40-35
  • Minnesota upset No. 11 USC, 24-17
  • Washington beat No. 10 Michigan, 27-17

Arkansas fans are celebrating big time, with one tweeting:

“Upsets on upsets!”
"Yeah it’s here! The great day for college football," another wrote.

Another fan teased CFB, sharing a meme of Tom Brady:

“Best day of CFB in a while.”
"Huge day for Football fans all over the world!! Incredible results,” one wrote.
“What a victory for the Razorbacks! Big teams falling today....crazy day,” another wrote.
“This league is total upset,” a fan wrote.

College football fans have been counting down the days to Oct. 12, where Week 7 promises some epic matchups like Ole Miss vs. LSU, Ohio State vs. Oregon, Penn State vs. USC and the always-heated Texas vs. Oklahoma showdown.


Malachi Singleton’s late-game heroics sealed the Arkansas' unforgettable victory

Malachi Singleton dashed in for an 11-yard touchdown with 1:17 left on the clock, securing a thrilling victory for the Razorbacks over the Volunteers in Week 6.

The Razorbacks (4-2, 2-1 in the Southeastern Conference) displayed remarkable resilience, rallying from a 14-3 deficit in the third quarter. The win marked their first home victory against a top-five team since they beat the No. 3 Volunteers back in 1999.

Singleton, stepping in for starting quarterback Taylen Green after he was injured, orchestrated the game-winning drive with impressive poise. Adding to the excitement of the day, it was the first time since Oct. 6, 2012, that two top-5 teams from the same conference lost on the same weekend, a feat that hadn’t happened since No. 4 LSU and No. 5 Georgia fell in their matches, per AP News.

Furthermore, it was the first occasion since Oct. 30, 2004, when No. 4 Miami and No. 5 Florida State lost to unranked rivals.
