The Razorbacks’ 24-20 road win over Tennessee in Week 5 was given an off the field award on Monday when the SEC announced senior offensive guard Sebastian Tretola as their Offensive Lineman of the Week.

Tretola has been consistent for the Razorbacks throughout the season grading out at 83 percent. The California native hit the 83 percent mark against the Volunteers adding four pancake blocks to the effort without giving up a sack. Tretola was a true trench Hog playing in all 73 offensive snaps for Arkansas.

As a team, Arkansas rushed for 275 net yards against Tennessee on 50 attempts with junior tailback Alex Collins getting a game-high 154 yards on 27 carries with two scores and true freshman Rawleigh Williams adding another 100 yards off 14 totes. The Hogs have not had two running backs hit the 100-yard rushing mark in a SEC game since Darren McFadden and Felix Jones did so in 2007. The dynamic duo for the Hogs set an NCAA record for combined rushing yards of 487 against South Carolina in 2007 with McFadden gaining 321 yards and Jones 166.

Arkansas returns to the field on Saturday traveling for a third consecutive game to face No. 8 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET with ESPN providing the coverage.
