Sam Pittman said it himself after Arkansas’ 56-13 win over Western Carolina on Saturday.
The game wasn’t going to answer the Razorbacks’ questions about the season, but it could give glimpses.
Most things went right for the Hogs in the blowout. KJ Jefferson is clearly just as good as he ever was at quarterback. The new receivers seem to be FBS caliber. The secondary is more aggressive. Arkansas won’t be short of linebackers.
But a couple issues cropped up, too. The most major was with the running game and offensive line. Arkansas had just 105 yards on 36 carries after being top 10 in FBS in rushing last year.
The line was short two starters, one of whom Pittman thinks will be back Monday, which will help alleviate things.
But all in all, the fourth-year Arkansas coach was happy with what his team accomplished in the season opener. Check out what he had to say below.
