Everyone associated with Arkansas football is frustrated.
That’s according to program head coach Sam Pittman, anyway, whose team dropped a sixth straight game Saturday, 7-3, against Mississippi State.
The loss means that Arkansas has to win each of its remaining four games just to get to .500 overall and have a chance at playing in a bowl game. But considering Mississippi State entered winless in the SEC and won in Fayetteville, the odds of achieveing four straight wins are long.
So Pittman is frustrated, yes. Mostly, he’s disappointed. The coach is shouldering the blame for Arkansas’ troubles, troubles that no one anticipated would be quite this bad back in August.
Now, with a bye week upcoming, Pittman has decisions to make. With players. With techniques. With coaches.
Here’s what he had to say following the Mississippi State game.
