Pittman Deserves More Credit for Hogs’ Turnaround**
Pittman emphasized the need for a tough-minded offensive coordinator who would advocate for physicality, toughness, and accountability. In his final radio show of 2023 at the Catfish Hole, he noted, “Bobby Petrino met with the offensive players, clearly conveying the message we discussed during the interview about what he could contribute to the program.”
“It’s all about toughness, passion for Arkansas, and the ability to run the ball or do whatever we need, whether passing or running.”
This season, Arkansas has exemplified that approach, averaging 200 rushing yards per game and leading the SEC with 20 rushing touchdowns. After enduring two painful losses, the Razorbacks’ upset of then No. 4 Tennessee ignited a celebration and fueled momentum amid a series of top-25 upsets.
