The national perception of Arkansas football heading into the 2024 season wasn’t exactly great.
Sportsbooks everywhere placed the Razorbacks’ win total at just 4.5 and most of the conversations centered around whether or not Sam Pittman could do enough to save his job.
Things started to shift with a strong showing — albeit in a losing effort — at Oklahoma State in Week 2. Following that with an uninspiring win over UAB last week didn’t really move the needle, though.
In fact, during Friday’s episode of SEC Now on the SEC Network, analyst Chris Doering made the kind of casual comment that Arkansas fans have grown accustomed to hearing when discussing why he believed Auburn was under more pressure going into the SEC opener.
