Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Erik Ainge threw two touchdown passes and Arian Foster ran for 59 of his 83 yards on a third-quarter TD scamper, as 22nd-ranked Tennessee pounded Arkansas, 34-13, in Southeastern Conference action.

Ainge finished 12-of-25 for 128 yards with Austin Rogers catching six passes for 62 yards and the game's first touchdown for Tennessee (7-3, 4-2 SEC), which improved to 6-0 at home this season with its third consecutive victory.

Darren McFadden was bottled up for most of the first half, as Arkansas fell into a 27-3 hole before clawing back late in the game. The star running back, one week after exploding for 323 yards against South Carolina, finished with 117 yards. Felix Jones, who teamed with McFadden in a rushing onslaught against the Gamecocks, carried the ball only three times for three yards after running for a career-best 174 yards last week.

Casey Dick completed 12-of-22 passes for 140 yards and two interceptions for Arkansas (6-4, 2-4), which saw its three-game winning streak come to an end.

After falling into a big halftime hole, Arkansas came out flat-footed again in the third quarter. Foster broke an early arm tackle and sprinted 59 yards for the touchdown and a 27-3 Volunteers edge with 11:22 remaining in the third quarter.

The Razorbacks answered as Alex Tejada drilled his second field goal of the contest, this one a 42-yard kick. Then, a third running back, Michael Smith, scampered nine yards for a touchdown to make it a 27-13 game with 8:27 left to play.

All hopes of a comeback were crashed when Jerod Mayo stepped in front of a Nathan Emert pass, taking it back 34 yards the other way for the game- clinching touchdown.

Tennessee took its initial possession right down the field for an early touchdown. The Volunteers moved methodically down the field for the score, capped by Ainge's quick pass to Rogers, who slipped a tackle and scampered into the end for the 16-yard score.

Tejada's 31-yard field goal got the Razorbacks on the scoreboard, but Tennessee dominated the remainder of the first half. Dennis Rogan took the ensuing kickoff back 78 yards, leading to Daniel Lincoln's 25-yard chip shot for a 10-3 lead.

Tennessee played smash-mouth football in a scoring drive spanning the first and second quarters. The Volunteers, counting Ainge's quarterback rush off a designed pass play, ran the football 11 straight times, moving into Lincoln's range for a 28-yard field goal with 8:23 remaining in the half.

Rogan's 15-yard punt return put the Volunteers in good shape just before midfield late in the first half. Ainge completed an 11-yard pass to Foster and a 29-yard toss to Lucas Taylor on consecutive plays, moving the ball to the Razorbacks nine-yard line. The ball moved back five yards on the first two plays, but Ainge found Josh Briscoe for a 14-yard score and a 20-3 lead at the half.

McFadden rushed for only 25 yards on six attempts in the first half, and Arkansas totaled just 49 yards to 164 for the Volunteers.
