FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas travels to Tennessee on Saturday looking for its first win in Knoxville since the first Bush administration.
The Razorbacks last won at Neyland Stadium in 1992, upsetting the No. 4 Volunteers 25-24 on a last-second field goal by Todd Wright.
Arkansas has lost six straight games there since, including a couple in agonizing fashion. The Vols overcame an 18-point deficit to win a top 10 matchup in their 1998 national championship season and four years later beat the Razorbacks in six overtimes.
A generation of Arkansas fans grew up with Neyland Stadium being their house of horrors.
But Rocky Top has lost its mystique since the Razorbacks last traveled there for a 34-14 loss eight years ago.
Since that game, Tennessee is just 12-20 against Power Five conference programs at home. Among SEC teams, only Vanderbilt and Kentucky have lost more comparable home games with 26 apiece.
For close to a decade, schools like Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mississippi State have had a better home field advantage than Tennessee - a far cry from the decade before when a wealth of future NFL stars made Neyland one of the nation's most difficult places to play.
The Volunteers have gone 1-3 against SEC teams at home in four straight seasons. Earlier this year, Tennessee blew a 17-point lead there to Oklahoma and lost in overtime.
With road games remaining at Alabama, Ole Miss and LSU, this weekend's trip to Knoxville appears to be Arkansas' best chance for a road win this season.
If the Razorbacks are to overcome a 1-3 start and make a bowl game, they will have to win at least one game on the road and hold serve at home.
Arkansas and Tennessee enter this weekend's game in similar shape. Both blew fourth quarter leads and lost last week to open SEC play - the Razorbacks against Texas A&M and the Volunteers at Florida.
Tennessee has won one more game than Arkansas through four weeks, but both have underachieved from a win-loss standpoint after being ranked in the preseason AP poll.
Of course winning on the road has been an arduous task for the Razorbacks in recent seasons. Arkansas has lost nine straight SEC road games and two more against Texas A&M at a neutral site.
The Razorbacks last won a conference road game in 2012 at Auburn.
It has been longer than that since Tennessee beat an SEC West team at home, having last done so in 2010.
Those are streaks both are desperate to end Saturday.
