I can’t move on with column-writing in 2021 without holding myself accountable for the predictions I made about the Arkansas football team in 2020.
The picks I made four months ago in each category for the Porkers are in parentheses.
FINAL RECORD (1-9)
I’ve been saying for years Arkansas wouldn’t be any better until its defense drastically improved and the Razorbacks did so under defensive coordinator Barry Odom. Odom’s decision to stay at Arkansas after being pursued by other programs is huge.
Finishing 3-7 in SEC play doesn’t seem like much until you realize Arkansas had lost 20 consecutive in league play before beating Mississippi State 21-14.
