FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman doesn't have to gather his players together and deliver a grandiose speech prior to each practice to ensure the team will be energized.
According to receiver Mike Woods and cornerback Montaric Brown — two juniors expected to play sizable roles for the Razorbacks in 2020 — players are taking it upon themselves to get amped up for workouts. They are not relying on the coaching staff to provide that spark.
"He doesn’t babysit us. He just says this is our team and he lets us self-start," Woods said of Pittman.
