Arkansas quarterback Barry Lunney Jr. wanted to compliment Tracy Caldwell for a key catch late in the Razorbacks' 25-24 upset of No. 4 Tennessee, but he wasn't sure he could.

"He made a great catch, I think," Lunney said. "I don't know. I couldn't really see. I was on my butt." Caldwell did indeed make a great catch of a high throw over the middle. It came on a play from the Razorbacks' 42 and was the key play in Arkansas' final drive.

Todd Wright's 41-yard field goal th two seconds left provided the winning points. Wright's fourth field goal of the day was the winner, but it wouldn't have mattered without Orlando Watters' 71-yard punt return for a touchdown wih 2:28 left to play as the Razorbacks rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final three minutes. "The flow of the game was the first time all year we've handled it from kick-to-kick like a good team does," said Arkansas coach Joe Kines, who got his most impressive victory since taking over the Hogs after the season's first game. "The last few weeks we've been subject to emotional football. Things go good, we play good; things go bad, we kind of head into a slump.

But we didn't do that today," he said. It was a major disappointment for Tennessee, which had hoped to head into next week's showdown with Alabama unbeaten. "In this conference you can't look past anybody, and I don't think our team looked past Arkansas," Tennessee coach Johnny Majors said. "We're still tied for the lead in our division. Certainly all is not lost by one defeat." ZAlfr Photo by The The Razorbacks (2-4 overall, 22 in the Southeastern Conference) trailed 24-16 when they forced the Volunteers (5-1, to punt.

Watters returned the kick 71 yards for a TD with 2:28 remaining, but Lunney was sacked on a 2-point conversion attempt and the Vols held a 24-22 lead. The Razorbacks' Darwin Ireland then recovered Wright's onside kick at the Arkansas 48 with 2:27 left. Lunney, a true freshman making his first start, calmly drove the Razorbacks to the Volunteer 24 and Wright, after waiting through three timeouts, nailed the winning kick. Lunney finished the day with 13 completions in 19 attempts, including a 50-yard touchdown to Ron Dickerson Jr. in the first half.

The Razorback comeback overcame an earlier Volunteer rally. After Wright's 46-yard field goal he kicked four on the day gave the Razorbacks a 16-7 lead midway through the third quarter, Tennessee drove 80 and 56 yards for touchdowns on two short runs by quarterback Heath Shuler. A 53-yard field goal by John Beck-svoort made it 24-16 Tennessee with 10:28 to play.
