Sam Pittman Press Conference - Arkansas 24, Auburn 14

[@KoolBell4AU]

Auburn fan here. Congrats on the win. Obviously, we love Travis Williams, and Sam Pittman has been my favorite SEC coach who's not at Auburn.

[@EazyE-501]

Appreciate that -- it was nice to get a bit of redemption from that blowout loss to Auburn in Fayetteville last season, and we definitely LOVE having T Will as a DC. His energy and tenaciousness is absolutely contagious with his defense, and I graduated high school in 2004 when he was a key part of that undefeated Auburn team which SHOULD'VE been in the BCS Championship game (and probably would've won too). Grateful for an always tough road win at Jordan Hare.

[@tedcrawford4888]

Hey you guys played your heart out it’s always gonna be a struggle with Auburn best of luck in the rest of the year especially against Bama

[@stephen4763]

Thanks man. Tough to win on the road. Y’all have great fans and a great football atmosphere. Even though we had all those TO’s, we couldn’t capitalize on them.

[@BMD2024]

Many Thanks......but man was it UGLY on both teams.

[@sethhawthorn3190]

Thanks hope y’all beat bama this yr

[@bluebloodarkansasbasketball]

happy to see pittman happy

What a game, well done!! Dang what solid D! Travis must be on cloud nine tonight with that performance. GO HAWGS!!

[@BMD2024]

Really?..... their turnovers were our best defense.

[@harriscolton320]

​@BMD2024 I kinda agree, but not all the turnovers were gimmes. At least 2 were forced by good defense and the others were them just giving us this ball. WPS!!!

[@BMD2024]

@@harriscolton320 - the more concerning is that we didn't capitalize off them, we should have been at 30pts by half. And our FG kicker situation is alarming as well. I just don't believe we have improved the last (2) games. I thought against OSU, even though it was a lose we had made great strides and would get better going forward. WPS.......and I guess I don't need to" look a gift horse in the mouth"

That was the hardest hitting game I've saw all season Arkansas dominated this game! huge win nothing is given week to week in SEC everything can change keep moving forward getting better learning how to win.

[@stephen4763]

Hmmm we didn’t dominate on O. Our D was exceptionally good though. Converting those 5 TO’s to points would have been “domination”.

[@bobbyshizz2138]

Pittman made the right call not pushing it at the end of the half. Take a lead into halftime. A turnover leading to an Auburn TD would have been devastating.... Coach managed the game properly today. WPS!

[@BJGarrett-qi4ix]

Well said, case closed!!!!

[@JA4617]

Damn was Freeze pissed that those calls were not in his favor lol! So sweet, was laughing my ass off

[@KnEpH131]

We finally didn't get hosed @ Auburn. Big win for the team. Way to go Defense and TWill. It was ugly but it was a win. This team needed it. The only thing that would have made it better was if Methzoo would have lost to Vandy. Happy for Pittman too.

[@stephen4763]

Happy for Coach. A win on the road against a team that smoked us last year at our place is good medicine.

[@jeanettejones7957]

Instead of criticizing I'm just happy with the win and congratulate coach Pittman, the team and the coaches on beating Auburn, who desperately needed to lose to us!!

big win for sam

[@carywilson7583]

Huge... this game was make or break, no matter what anybody says.

[@SpacetheNewFrontier-yo2xg]

I have a concern. Hogfans, when a team kicks off to us, our players are running away from the ball thinking it's going to be a touchback...there has been some close calls where the ball barely went into the endzone...I hope this doesn't come back to bite us. A win is a win

[@bobbyshizz2138]

Noticed that a couple weeks ago. I share your concern.

[@TheSassy777]

That first 4th down failure they gave us a horrible spot on the 3rd down. Someone should have asked him to look at that.

what's funny is Brian Harrison was criticized for his recruiting but Auburn beat cow and Arkansas last year but now with two seasons under Hugh freeze he's lost both of them games embarrassingly at home were last year they won on the road how can you justify that ?

Exactly!!! Classic Pittman move

[@ghghg659]

Idiots…

[@jamesglover3604]

Win or get by. If you get by that means you win.

[@stephenandluisa]

Actually, Sam needs to keep his ideas out of Bobby Petrino’s offense, Bobby Petrino would not have let the clock run out by taking a knee in the first half Bobby Petrino would’ve scored on that last possession in the second half

[@Aidaiaka]

Actually you’re wrong. Why would we try to score when we had just thrown a pick back to back? We also had a lead.

[@beyondgaming7085]

This I agree and disagree. If the team has a good defense I would knee it, and if the team is being run through I would go for a touchdown. On that occasion I would just play it safe and take the lead into the 2 half

[@yungmick3]

Yeah and throw a pick! Then you would say Pittman needs to go for that decision. He made the right one and you still have something to say. Just be quiet

[@ThomasDavis-l9v]

Are we going to be happy with 6-7 wins. We need 10-11 wins to be happy. Maybe playoffs should be our goal..

[@tyhumphreys9149]

One step at a time. Promising outlook is satisfying for me this year. Excellent staff and I feel they will only get better from here. Gotta learn to drive before you become an F1 driver. Steps in the right direction.

I see Texas A&M, Mississippi State & Louisiana Tech as should wins on the 2024 schedule. Not much after that. I think the Sam fans that are so happy for him need to hope for more than those six wins. Petrino is the reason for the change in this year's team. Not sleepy Sam. I will be glad when Pittman packs his bags to leave Fayetteville.

[@rogerthompson8420]

C’mon. Last year the offense was dismal and it was Sam’s fault for hiring Enos. Now he hires Petrino and all of a sudden Sam gets no credit for that? Can’t have it both ways.

[@samrial8373]

“Sam fans”? No we’re HOG fans. You sound SO disappointed that the Hogs won. Bless your little hating heart!

[@jamesonjohnston92]

Bro Bobby's play calling is suspect

[@warhog3862]

@@rogerthompson8420 The offense was terrible last year because the offensive line was terrible. The offensive line was still terrible after Enos was fired. Pittman cannot motivate a football team. That is a fatal flaw in a head football coach at this level.
