Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman is adopting a fresh approach as the Razorbacks aim to finish the season on a stronger note. Speaking to reporters this week, Pittman emphasized that changes in preparation and strategy will provide the team with a better chance to compete in their final games.
“We’re looking at things differently,” Pittman said. “It’s about giving these guys the best opportunity to succeed, and that means reevaluating how we do things day-to-day.”
The changes come after a challenging season in which the Razorbacks have struggled to gain momentum in the SEC. While Pittman didn’t reveal specific details, he hinted at adjustments in practice routines, player roles, and game-day tactics.
Key to this new direction is a renewed focus on fundamentals. Pittman highlighted the importance of discipline, execution, and reducing penalties — issues that have plagued the team in several close losses this season.
“We’ve been in a lot of tight games, and it comes down to the little things,” Pittman noted. “We’ve got to clean those up to give ourselves a chance.”
The Razorbacks also appear to be embracing a more aggressive mindset, particularly on offense. After a season marked by inconsistent play-calling, Pittman indicated the staff is exploring ways to maximize the strengths of quarterback KJ Jefferson and the team’s rushing attack.
Arkansas fans will get their first glimpse of these changes when the Razorbacks take the field in their next matchup. Despite the team’s current struggles, Pittman remains optimistic about building a foundation for future success.
“I believe in this group,” Pittman said. “We’re going to fight and finish the right way.”
