FAYETTEVILLE — No statistic has been a better indicator of Arkansas’ success this season than turnovers.
The old cliche of taking care of the football being the most important thing in football was proven true once again Saturday, as the Razorbacks were minus-2 in that category and lost to No. 3 Texas 20-10 at Razorback Stadium.
Arkansas is now 0-5 when losing the turnover battle, compared to a perfect 5-0 when winning it or finishing even. In the five losses, it is a combined minus-10. It is plus-7 in the five wins.
“We have to hang on to the football, and if we do we’ve got a pretty good team,” Pittman said.
