What Sam Pittman said following Arkansas’ loss to Texas A&M
By Mark Kern
Published:
Arkansas lost for the 3rd consecutive time, as the Razorbacks fell to Texas A&M, 34-22, on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.
It was an especially tough day on the offense, as the unit couldn’t get anything going. Quarterback K.J. Jefferson struggled through the air, as he was only 9-of-17 for 132 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.
As bad as the passing offense was, the ground game was especially bad. The Razorbacks ran the ball 29 times for only 32 yards. Raheim Sanders carried the ball 11 times for only 34 yards.
It was a tough game all-around for Arkansas, but coach Sam Pittman is still optimistic this team is going to stay together.
After the game, he talked about the injuries the team is dealing with, as well as tight knit of a group as this team is. He also commented on the status on John Morgan, who left the game with an injury and was transported to the hospital.
"Our team is a little banged up; we have some injuries. I like the fight in these kids, I think they'll comeback and fight."

"You always reevaluate what you're doing; sometimes you're playing somebody who will do something you didn't practice. They gave us something we practiced and didn't execute."
