Silverfield: Arkansas' 'Monumental' Win Vs Vanderbilt A 'Sigh Of Relief' For Many

Arkansas can move forward without an SEC losing streak hanging over its head after beating Vanderbilt 31-21 in Nashville on Saturday. The Razorbacks had lost 14 consecutive SEC games, including a third double-digit conference slide in 14 years, and the win has brought a sense of relief for players and fans. Ryan Silverfield, speaking Wednesday, said the moment mattered for supporters more than for him personally and emphasized that the next victory is even more important. Arkansas’ first trophy opportunity for Silverfield as head coach comes Oct. 31 against No. 22 Missouri at Fayetteville, a primetime game tied to the Battle Line trophy, which Silverfield described as weighing over 180 pounds. Kickoff is 6:45 p.m. on Oct. 31 on SEC Network and the Razorback Sports Network.
