Saturday’s disappointing 21-19 loss to Liberty is a black eye for Sam Pittman’s tenure at Arkansas. There’s no other way to spin it.
The Arkansas team we watched on Saturday was not prepared to play, and the only person who bears responsibility for that is the head coach. Everything we’ve learned about Arkansas football up to this point in the season was thrown out.
The high-powered offense never made it out of bed on Saturday morning. The defense actually played well enough to win but got zero help from the offense until it was too late. Special teams even showed up in a big way with a blocked punt safety but, again, the offense wasn’t able to do anything with that opportunity.
