With SEC Media Days behind us, Arkansas football fans are truly gearing up for the 2024 season. Of course, all the focus will be on head coach Sam Pittman who is on the hot seat.
Unfortunately, it won't be easy for the fifth-year head coach to rebound from last year's 4-8 struggle. That's because the Razorbacks have a rather difficult schedule this fall.
"We play seven pre-season top 25 teams," Pittman said earlier this week. "That's how it is in the SEC. They also have to play the Arkansas Razorbacks. We're excited about our non-conference opponents this year. We go to Oklahoma State week two. I really like that game. It's three hours away. They have a great program, great coach. Excited about going over there to Oklahoma State."
