Sam Pittman says he's proud of Razorbacks: 'The days of getting our teeth kicked in are over'

Sam Pittman understands that Arkansas put up quite a fight despite the 42-35 loss to Alabama.

But he liked what he saw in his team not giving up, and putting up a fight against the No. 2 team in the country on the road. Pittman praised KJ Jefferson’s performance, and said Alabama QB Bryce Young should be in the Heisman Trophy conversation.

Here’s a sampling of his comments:

Pittman on what he said to guys in locker room: Proud of football team. Would be hard not to be. Stayed in the game and had a chance to win.

Matched the physicality of what Bama is known for.

The days of getting teeth kicked in are over.

Pittman on Young: It says right here he passed for 559 yards, I’d say he’s pretty darn good.

Pittman: I never felt like we couldn’t run the ball tonight. Felt like offensive line played really good ball game today.
