FAYETTEVILLE — A veteran columnist in Texas framed a question to Arkansas coach Sam Pittman on Wednesday by saying critics believe Texas might be overrated at No. 3 because its schedule does not match up to the other top teams in the SEC.
Pittman laid his praise on thick in not taking the bait.
“Oh, a lot of times critics don’t know what the hell they’re talking about,” Pittman said. “And I don’t think they know much what they’re talking about on this one, either. This is a damn fine Texas team.
“I mean, you don’t go beat Oklahoma by 31, and beat Mississippi State by 22, and beat Michigan by 19, beat Colorado State 52-0 and have a sorry football team.
