Arkansas Razorbacks' five one-score games forced change in offseason aimed at making Hogs more competitive in SEC
DALLAS — If there was a recurring theme from Arkansas coach Sam Pittman on Thursday morning it was his confidence in this team. That's not surprising because he's probably seen the signs.
What got his attention in a disappointing 4-8 season last year was five one-score games where the Razorbacks came out on the short end of the score. That tends to happen with coaches who remember the close losses far more than the wins. To do that requires simply being tougher. Coaches will phrase in a lot of different ways, but they've been soft the last couple of years and when the going got tough, the Hogs tended to go to the house.
There's that "tough" word again. Having a record over the last two years of 11-14 is not what he's comfortable with in his third and fourth seasons. Part of it has been fixing toughness issue.
