The Arkansas football team has lost five straight games in 2023 after falling Saturday to Alabama.
Four of those five have been by one possession, a fact that is of little consolation to a Razorbacks fan base that is exhausted. Of little consolation to Arkansas coach Sam Pittman, too, who has continually said his team hasn’t quit on the season.
It’s clear he’s right. But saying so without the victories following won’t earn him any favors from people who seek figurative blood. His comments after the 24-21 defeat Saturday made that clear.
What was also clear is that Pittman believes his team is still headed toward a bowl. The final stretch of four of the final five at home suggest a distinct possibility.
Here’s what else Pittman had to say after Alabama.
