For several years, the Arkansas Razorbacks have been at the bottom of the SEC West since the departure of Bobby Petrino as head coach going into the 2012 season.
Second-year head coach Sam Pittman, however, has not only brought success to the program, but he also brought a much-needed culture change.
College GameDay premiered a feature video that shows the impact and culture change that Pittman has brought to Fayetteville.

Pittman has brought intensity, the need to win, and emotion to the team and locker room. Last season, Arkansas snapped a 20-game SEC losing streak with a win over a ranked Mississippi State on the road. This year in Week 2, Arkansas dominated the No. 15 ranked Texas Longhorns at home 40-21.
The Razorbacks will have another huge opportunity on Saturday as they will face the No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Razorbacks look to snap a 9-game losing streak to the Aggies. Arkansas has never beaten Texas A&M with both teams as SEC programs.
