Butch: This game came down to big plays at critical times, and we didn’t do enough in those times. I give Arkansas credit. They did that.

Butch: ‘Key plays at critical moments of the game.’ Cites first-half issues in the red zone, the punt return called back.

Butch: We have to get the ball to the wideouts, but they have to get open, and we have to protect.

Butch Jones says ‘injuries’ are why North and Pig weren’t able to play today.

. @UTCoachJones: Starts with me, starts with coaches and players. We have to stay together.

JONES: We have been set back with depth. It is what it is, and we have to continue to work at it.

JONES: We weren’t able to get off the field in the second half defensively.

. @UTCoachJones: I think just 1on1 matchups. Some of it field position. They did what they’ve done entire season. #Vols

JONES: For this team to win, our margin of error is very small.
