Several more notes and tidbits from Arkansas' win over Ole Miss... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/notebook-catalon-is-ironman-personnel-changes-more

Okay folks. I think 4,600+ words and five stories is enough for tonight. Gonna catch a few hours of sleep and get back at it tomorrow with the PFF breakdowns. Plus there's Game 2 of the Fall World Series. Can't stop, won't stop. Thank y'all for subscribing and making my job possible!

...and they are bad records! When is the last time we could say that? Not since I've been a fan.

KJ Costello...meet Joe Foucha, who turned your heisman hunt into a hunt for the bench.

Matt Corral...meet Hudson Clark, our walk-on RF who is only starting because our better corner is injured...and just picked you off 3 times. In one game.

SEC...meet Barry Odom. A top-5 Defensive coordinator squeezing more performance out of our roster than anyone could have imagined. You better bring your best when you match up against him!

Am I wrong, or did Matt Corral (who we last saw shredding Alabama's defense) throw more touchdowns to our team than his own?

Our special teams terrifies me every time it steps on the field.

Our offense can't get out of it's own way.

And it may not matter in most of our games this season, because our defense is that good.

Ok, maybe that's wishful thinking. but just maybe it's not...

►The early leader for national coach of the year? It’s Arkansas’ Sam Pittman, the hire that was panned more than any other last offseason by media members and industry insiders after the Razorbacks struck out on several of their top targets. Funny how this stuff works, isn’t it?

Pittman, who hadn’t been a head coach since his Hutchinson Community College days in 1992-93 but built his reputation in FBS as a veteran offensive line coach and recruiter, ended up getting the Arkansas job mostly because he really wanted it. Not a lot of flashy up-and-comers did, given that the Hogs ended last season on a run of four wins in their previous 27 games. From the outside, it looked like an impossible situation. A coaching graveyard.

But remarkably, Pittman has the Hogs sitting at 2-2 after a 33-21 win over Ole Miss — and they’d be 3-1 if not for an unfortunate mistake by the officials against Auburn last week when an inadvertent whistle negated a fumble that would have ended the game.

The Razorbacks are playing extremely hard under Pittman, and that accounts for a lot. But the biggest difference is defensive coordinator Barry Odom (the former Missouri head coach who was fired last December), who has transformed Arkansas’ defense into a very salty unit. Arkansas limited the same Ole Miss team that put up 48 points on Alabama to three scores and 4-of-16 on third down. They also forced seven turnovers, including six interceptions of quarterback Matt Corral.

Highlights of the win over the Shark Bears today, enjoy!

I promise you! If catalon keeps playing like this, he will be all-sec first time this year! Shoot maybe even all American.

I speak fondly of that team. Richardson’s Runts. Darrel Hawkins was the definition of a leader. Kids went out there, outmanned, but never out played. Made the Sweet Sixteen somehow someway. Hawkins wasn’t going to let them lose. It meant something to those kids to wear the Arkansas Razorback Jersey

This football team reminds me so much of that basketball team

The Razorback portions were about Catalon under the "Not quite Heisman 5" and Pittman/Arkansas in the "Under-reaction of the week."

5. Arkansas S Jalen Catalon

With all due respect to Grant Morgan, the Arkansas senior linebacker who had 19 tackles, three tackles for loss and a pick on Saturday, there's a good case to be made that the biggest difference in the Razorbacks' defense in 2020 is the addition of the redshirt freshman safety. Catalon had nine tackles, a pick and a fumble recovery in Saturday's win, and his 45 tackles puts him near the top of the SEC leaderboard. A year ago, Arkansas' secondary allowed more than 8 yards per pass. So far this year, they're allowing just 5.5.

Sam Pittman is the coach of the year, and it doesn't matter what happens from here. Sure, it'd be tough to vote for a guy who could still finish 2-8, but we'd do it anyway. Arkansas beat Ole Miss 33-21 on Saturday, winning its second SEC game of the season, something that hasn't happened since 2016. In fact, from 2017 through 2019, the Razorbacks won just two games total in SEC play. And had it not been for a controversial call a week ago against Auburn, Pittman's team would be 3-1 right now. Short of UTEP making a late playoff push, there's no chance anyone is writing a better comeback story than Pittman is at Arkansas.

That wasnt Bama's defense, or Georgia's, or Auburn. That was . Odom shut his $hit down from start to finish. Few things i noticed:
1. Leach did not adjust his play calling AT ALL. He was so stuck in his system, he refused to run the ball. He had 5 man boxes all night, and when he did run it, they gashed us. But he wouldnt do it.
2. There is now tape on how to shut the air raid down, and the more talented teams in the west will see it and eat Leach alive. Bumper Pool and Grant Morgan were tackling machines, and Joe Fouche looked like an All American. Imagine the defenses loaded with 5 stars is gonna do.
3. Costello is not a great qb. He will throw a bunch of yards bc they wont run the ball and the system is designed for the qb to be the whole offense. LSU never adjusted and he still threw picks in that game. We had a good gameplan and got 3 picks and held them to 14 points.
4. Their defense is NOT good. We lost our best 2 players and we arent good on offense, so we made them look better than they are. The good offensive teams in this league will ROAST them.

Leach wont last 5 years at MSU. Book it. The only thing that might save him is the contract.

Did they just we might have the best d in the conference? I don’t think so cause we still have some run def issues but we are good

I'm OK with the Pitt hire. Love it and the coaches he brought in and the culture he created.

@HoggybonesAK

Get everyone healed up, and then continue the domination in Aggy Land.

Burks TD catch is the #1 play of the day WPS

I really like the gritty ness and toughness. The attention to detail seems light years ahead of what the clown show that left town had to offer.

I really wish we would’ve had a full season with a normal schedule bc if we continue to play this way we would’ve had a nice first year under Pittman and I still feel like we are going to fair better than we all thought.

A walk on?? Two games in a row he played great at CB. Wonder how long it takes before he is on scholarship ? Lol

Always when Busta returns do we move him to other side to replace Jacobs?

no excuse.

No idea how the season will end in terms of W/L but this is a season that our coaches can use in recruiting. It’s is proving that if you come here you will be coaches to be better. No more are the days where you come to Arkansas for early pt but come to actually wins some games.

Scott Fountain sucks all the penises.

Without the favorable calls, they could EASILY be 0-4.
