Taylen Green did not finish the game as Arkansas upset Tennessee due to injury. Malachi Singleton finished the deal and Sam Pittman revealed why Green did not come back in after exiting early in the fourth quarter.

Redshirt freshman Malachi Singleton came in and replaced Green. Singleton completed 2 of 3 passes for 31 yards and rushed four times for 12 yards and one touchdown. Singleton has completed 10 of 14 passing for 151 yards and rushed eight times for 18 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Speaking on The Chuck & Bo Show on ESPN Arkansas, Pittman said backup Malachi Singleton “did a wonderful job” leading Arkansas late during the 19-14 upset of then-No. 4 Tennessee last week, but added Green “is our No. 1 quarterback for a reason.”

Sam Pittman provided a status update on injured Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Taylen Green this week ahead of the team’s matchup against LSU, giving a little reason for optimism.

Sam Pittman is hopeful that Arkansas football quarterback Taylen Green will return for the Razorbacks' next game versus LSU.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green will have a couple of weeks to rest up from the knee injury he suffered on a low hit from Tennessee’s 315-pound defensive lineman Omarr Norman-Lott early in the fourth quarter of the Razorbacks’ 19-14 win over the No. 4 Volunteers on Saturday.
