The 2021 Arkansas football season was the best in 10 year for the Razorbacks.
Now, in Year Three of the Sam Pittman era, one online publication thinks the Hogs will exceed even last year’s best.
Brad Crawford at 247Sports wrote his projected regular-season record for every team in the SEC earlier in the week. The Razorbacks are his predicted No. 2-finishing team in the SEC West, tied with Texas A&M. Crawford wrote that he thinks both teams will finish 10-2 overall and 6-2 in the SEC.
Arkansas went 9-4 last year with a 4-4 record in the SEC. That overall marker was the team’s best since 2011, which, incidentally, is the last time the Hogs won six games in the SEC.
Alabama was Crawford’s top pick and he wrote the Crimson Tide will go unbeaten. Ole Miss is fourth, LSU fifth and Auburn and Mississippi State were tied for the bottom spot with a 2-6 league record.
Pittman’s bunch was picked to finish third in the SEC West during SEC Media Days in July, as well.
