Pressure on Arkansas coach Sam Pittman as Razorbacks seek strong start against Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs. Arkansas in Little Rock, Ark., Thursday, 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPNU) BetMGM College Football Odds: Arkansas by 49 1/2. Series record: Arkansas leads 1-0. Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman is on the hot seat, as he acknowledged at SEC Media Days. The nine wins in 2021 are pretty much forgotten and Pittman’s Razorbacks have gone 11-14 over the past two seasons. They fell to 4-8 last season with one SEC win. Most forecasts have Arkansas picked among the bottom three teams in the 16-team SEC and cannot afford to lose this one. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, which was 2-9 overall last season in Alonzo Hampton’s first year, is predicted to again be near the bottom of the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s West Division. A solid showing here would give the program momentum.
