FAYETTEVILLE — Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin clearly appreciates the work his Arkansas counterpart Sam Pittman has done this season.
Pittman and Kiffin were both hired in the 2019-20 coaching cycle, and while the Razorbacks struggled to a 4-8 record last season, Kiffin’s Rebels won 11 games for the first time in school history and entered 2024 with their sights on a berth in the first 12-team College Football Playoff.
Pittman has begun what looks like a rebound, guiding Arkansas to a 5-3 record heading into Saturday’s 11 a.m. game with the No. 19 Rebels (6-2, 2-2 SEC) at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
