Media reaction after Arkansas' ugly loss, Sam Pittman's future with Razorbacks

Time may be running out for Sam Pittman after Arkansas falls to 2-6

For the first time under the direction of Sam Pittman, the Arkansas football team is yet to win a game in SEC play through five games after an ugly loss on Saturday, leaving major structural questions over the direction of the program going forward.

• Hogs move to 2-6 overall
• And just 0-5 in SEC play
• Reaction follows loss to Mississippi State, which came in the worst team in the SEC West
• Arkansas now holds that distinction after the head-to-head loss
• Razorback fans holding Pittman, offensive coordinator Dan Enos responsible.

Feel bad for KJ

The fate of the Razorbacks' offense has coincided with a decline in play from quarterback KJ Jefferson, who had 97 yards passing and an interception in the loss to Mississippi State.

"Terrible effort"

An all-round failure this week, and this season, for the Hogs, due primarily to their inability to consistent produce any quality offense, an issue that begins with their subpar line protection from start to finish.

"Lifeless"

This season has been a disaster for Arkansas, another critical step backwards for a program that appeared to be taking a positive turn under Pittman's direction. The Razorbacks went 9-4 two years ago and won the Liberty Bowl, but won 7 games the year after and just 2 this season.

Ls piling up

Arkansas is trending in the wrong direction, not only against SEC opposition, but against non-conference teams, as well.

Short yard issues

Case in point for how poorly the Razorbacks' line has regressed: after opening the second half with the ball, the offense managed just 21 yards and failed to get enough push for Jefferson to convert this fourth down attempt from short range.

"Abject"

The Dan Enos era at Arkansas has not exactly panned out well for the offensive coordinator or his offense.

3 points, 4 emails

Enos notably emailed four students after the Razorbacks' loss to Texas A&M responding to their criticism, one more message than points his offense had on Saturday,

"I didn't know what to do"

After the game, Pittman admitted he was unsure of how to strategize in the second half when faced with a decision to either kick a field goal or punt, a statement that won't sit well with most fans.
