Below in a great post by u/tmart12 it is pointed out that Arkansas is one of 3 teams with 10 top 50 Massey Composite teams on their schedule for 2025. So it got me doing a deep dive on the schedule under Pittman.
All 9 of Arkansas’ remaining games are against top 50 Massey Composite teams including a home game against Notre Dame and this weekends’ road matchup @ Memphis.
So far, Sam Pittman is 32-32 as the head coach at Arkansas. Lets break that down:
30 of Sam Pittman’s 64 games as coach at Arkansas have been against teams currently ranked in the top 25. Arkansas is 7-23 in those matchups.
13, over 20%, of those games have been against teams ranked currently in the top 10. Arkansas is 2-11 in those games.
25 of Arkansas’ games under Sam Pittman have been decided by 7 points or less. Arkansas is 7-18 in those games.
As it stands now, Arkansas will have 7 more top 25 matchups this season bringing Pittman’s total to 37 of 73 games against top 25 opponents, or over half of the games during his tenure as Arkansas coach.
And what about upcoming years you ask? Why next season, Arkansas travels to Salt Lake City to face off with Utah and their returning senior QB Devon Dampier who is lighting the world on fire right now.
Surely it gets much easier after that? NOPE. We’ve got a back to back year series with Texas Tech in 2030/31 who is currently loading up with more talent than ever with no signs of slowing down. Recently, there are rumors of large overpays of recruits who have flipped from the Razorbacks to the Red Raiders (and more power to them, I’d want us to if we had the billionare spilling his cash all over).
Pray for your local Hog fan. They need it.
