Florida isn’t scared of Arkansas. They aren’t in 2023. They haven’t been ever.
That doesn’t mean, however, Arkansas is about to walk into a beatdown on Saturday in Gainesville.
Things are tenuous in the Natural State for the flagship school. The Razorbacks have lost six straight football games and offensive coordinator Dan Enos was fired the day after the last loss, replaced by the 30-something former wide receivers coach.
Hopes are high for Kenny Guiton, a man Pittman said had perhaps the most intellectual mind among his staffers, but counting on the Hogs to win in The Swamp in a year where the chaos has been constant might be a bit much.
Arkansas has never won a football game in Gainesville. In fact, Arkansas has a grand total of two wins over Florida in history. If No. 3 were to come Saturday, the Razorbacks fan base wouldn’t know what to do.
It could, anyway. Florida has its own issues. Granted, none are as pressing as Arkansas’, but to say Gators fans are – ahem – swimming this year, no. Let’s take a quick look at what’s going on with the blue-and-orange.
