Fayetteville, Ark.-One important statistics that have followed Arkansas coach Sam Pittman around the last five seasons is his 7-17 record in a points game.

It is an abyss that is the worst of any Razorbacks coach in the SEC era with the exception of Chad Morris. Pittman’s service has been full of close conversation, a great upset and lots of tail parking.

Since the transfer portal gives little to no hope for improvement based on previous research, the ranking show is once again Arkansas is one of the least talented laws in Sec entering in 2025 and it is really not close. Razorbacks’ Transfer Traul has an average Signee score of 87 and its beginner signing class has the third lowest average player score which is good for No. 14 and No. 15 among Sec members.

Arkansa’s deficit in the depth grows when the team was ranked as No. 26 Nationally and No. 14 in total at the conference last year, according to 247sports. The opportunity window starts to close because Pittman is 2-8 in a possession game in the last two seasons compared to his 4-6 mark from 2021 to 2022.

Blowout has also increased when Razorbacks only lost two matches by 21 or more points from 2021 to 2022. Arkansa’s previous two teams have a combined four exhaust losses with an increasingly difficult schedule 2025.

While ranking does not take into account experience, Razorback’s 15 transfers with starting experience around the country. What coaches must do this season is to invest in team binding in the hope of a return on victories.

Road games against the playoffs Hopefuls LSU, Texas, Ole Miss and Tennessee will test Arkansas depth across the line. The tigers signed the best transmission class during the winter portal period, according to 247sports, and Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier returns after shredding Hog’s defense last year in Razorback Stadium.

The rebels are ranked directly behind LSU on No. 2 in the Portal ranking after signing 10 4-star transfers including a variety of talented ditch players and passports such as the former Arkansas star Tight End Luke Hasz. Razorbacks will probably have a fiery edge in the game that former teammates Jayon Braxton and Patrick Kuta’s Don Ole Miss’ colors.

Home opponents include National Runner-Up Notre Dame that should settle for a title again. Then Texas A&M (No. 10), Auburn (No. 18) and Missouri (no. 19) boasts talented competitions, according to 247sports Team Metric.

This season is the most important of all under Pittman if there is a plan for continuity in addition to 2025 for him and his staff. The latest story is equally good with an indicator of trends to predict the result of next season, but there is a factor that no one can account for and that is if this team has it between the ears.

If this group does, it will be proof of the hard work that Pittman’s staff has carried out. Establishing a mental edge in Razorback’s dressing room that has been injected with a group of experienced veterans from the portal can benefit this team as it is trying to overcome their countless turnover that has contributed to most possession losses over the past two years.
