No. 4 Tennessee travels to Fayetteville on Saturday to take on Arkansas with the hopes of improving to 5-0 this season.

The Razorbacks, however, boast one of the most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks in the SEC in Taylen Green. SEC analyst Tim Tebow explained how big of a threat the Boise State transfer poses the Volunteers during the conference matchup.

“This kid is an unbelievable athlete at 6-foot-6. He’s someone that’s one of the fastest guys on the field no matter what a field he’s on, so you have to keep him in the pocket, especially when you’re blitzing,” Tebow said on SportsCenter ahead of SEC Nation. “You’re bringing pressure and you’re playing man to man coverage, which Tennessee likes to do.

“You have to be able to keep him in the pocket because, if not, all of a sudden, it could be a touchdown on any play.”

On the season, green boasts a 54.3 percent completion percentage on 88-162 passing. He’s thrown five touchdowns and five interceptions to boot, while claiming the title as Arkansas’ second-leading rusher behind Ja’Quinden Jackson this season. Together, the duo has over 800 rushing yards combined to go with 13 touchdowns. Jackson is the SEC’s leading touchdown scorer for the running back position with nine.

The Razorbacks are 3-2 under Green’s signal calling this season, and Green has put up respectible numbers through five games. On track to surpass all of his career-highs set during his first three years at Boise State — if he can cut back on the turnovers, there hasn’t been much else slowing him, or the Arkansas offense down this season.

He’ll have to find an answer against arguably one of the most complete defenses in the country, anchored by potential No. 1 overall pick James Pearce. At the same time, the Arkansas defense will need to have an equally strong day against Nico Iamaleava and company.

Kickoff between the Razorbacks and Vols is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET live on ABC and ESPN+.
