Everything Sam Pittman said to start Florida week

Sam Pittman was more upbeat than he has been in at least two months, if not longer.

The vibe at Arkansas coach Sam Pittman’s press conference was Monday was different than it has been in more than a month.

The Razorbacks are hoping the results on the field change to match.

Arkansas is back at it this week as it prepares to head to Florida after a bye. The Hogs have lost six straight games and Pittman fired offensive coordinator Dan Enos just over a week ago.

So Arkansas spent a bulk of its bye week adjusting to its new offense, now led by wide receivers coach-turn-offensive coordinator Kenny Guiton. The Hogs have cut the playbook by about 30% in hopes of getting the offense on track.

If it does and the defense continues at the pace its playing, the skid could come to an end.

Thus the positivity.

Here’s what Pittman had to say at his weekly Monday press conference.
