Five Hamilton expected to start again for Arkansas State on Saturday. Butch Jones talked about the former Owl during the Sun Belt’s weekly media availability
The Arkansas State depth chart for Game 4 vs Kennesaw State is out. No changes from last week. Butch Jones will have his weekly press conference today and should (🤞🤞) have an update on Kenyon Clay.

Liked this third-down call from Mattioli after the scrambling trouble against GSU. Owls send both LBs, use the DTs to contain, and drop both edges to roam underneath. Tennessee picks it up pretty well, but nowhere to go. One of 7 coverage snaps in Marcus Patterson’s entire career
