Sam Pittman met with the assembled media again on Monday to recap the Kent State game and preview Saturday’s game with BYU.
He also confirmed that Raheim ‘Rocket’ Sanders will miss his second game in a row.
Sam Pittman confirmed that Arkansas RB Rocket Sanders will once again be OUT for Saturday's game against BYU with a knee injury.

The running game struggled on Saturday against the Golden Flashes without Sanders, but it wasn’t exactly gangbusters with him against Western Carolina either.
It remains to be seen if Sanders will be available for the SEC opener with LSU the following week in Baton Rouge.
Sam Pittman says Rocket Sanders (knee) will be out this week vs. BYU. "Got to get some swelling off of him." Pittman expects Dwight McGlothern (turf toe) to be back this week.

Having McGlothern back will help the secondary, especially with BYU having a threat to throw the ball in Pittsburgh (and former USC) transfer Kedon Slovis.
