Pittman: “We owe the state of Arkansas a dang good team.”

The 2022 season is certainly something a lot of fans, media and the coaching staff wants to forget. It wasn’t a complete failure. But, it was way below where anyone expected the Razorbacks to be at the end of the season. The Hogs started off with a bang after a 7-point victory over a ranked Cincinnati team fresh off a College Football Playoff appearance. Arkansas was able to push around South Carolina for much of the game last season. Even if the score was just 44-30, it was still an impress...

Arkansas shouldn’t accept mediocrity on the gridiron

Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images I grew up in a time where Arkansas Football was in the transitional stage of being competitive each season in football. Then head coach Houston Nutt gave fans optimism and hope while establishing the Razorbacks as players in the SEC. The conference was nowhere near as competitive in the 1990s and early 2000s as it is today. But, it sure did get stronger by the end of Nutt’s tenure. Plus, he won an outright SEC Western division title in 2006 with a 7-1 r...

Is KJ Jefferson the best QB in the SEC?

Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images Coming off two good years starting in the SEC, KJ Jefferson enters his 5th collegiate season ready to take the nation by storm. After Young, Hooker, Levis and Bennett all left for the NFL, the hottest question now is who takes the crown as the best QB in the SEC? Jefferson had an elite year last year, but was plagued with injuries throughout. He was not 100% healthy during most of the season according to reports, and that changed the trajectory for Ar...

Pat Narduzzi ranked 6th out of ACC coaches by CBS Sports

Photo by Logan Whitton/Getty Images Pitt coach’s ranking does not change from 2022 list. Each year the folks at CBS Sports release a ranking of all the P5 football coaches.

Here’s what they had to say: “ Pat Narduzzi (29 overall): Narduzzi lost a Heisman finalist at quarterback, had to cycle through signal-callers due to various injury issues in 2022 and still managed to win eight regular-s...

One simple switch to save Florida football

There’s only one thing to blame for the Gators’ gridiron woes. And a new kind of Pepsi Challenge could fix them. Late in my seventh grade year, my school welcomed a new student from the state of Indiana. I had just attended the Final Four in Indianapolis, where the Florida Gators had triumphed over the North Carolina Tar Heels and succumbed to the dirty trickery of Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans in the NCAA Tournament final. Much like George Costanza and George Peppard having the sam...

2023 Orange and Blue Game open thread: A glimpse of the Gators

Matt Pendleton / USA TODAY NETWORK Our first look at the 2023 Gators comes on a Thursday night. I really don’t need to do a full-blown preview for this one, do I? I already wrote out a bunch of predictions for Florida’s spring game earlier this afternoon, and while I’m as excited as you are — give or take — to endure enjoy an SEC Network+ broadcast over on ESPN+ , I think we all know the stakes of this Thursday night. And, additionally: Florida’s gymnastics team living through an all-ti...

Seven predictions for Florida’s 2023 Orange and Blue Debut

Doug Engle / USA TODAY NETWORK This should be fun — little more, nothing less. With another spring practice cycle successfully put behind us without mention — I’m sure I missed some of the best action that’s ever happened during the series of practices that the players care even less about than the fall camp that they cannot wait to have end because of the sweltering Gainesville heat and humidity — it is, of course, time for a spring game exhibition that will serve as much of the basis fo...

A Southern heirloom: Football and the Gators, from my grandfather to me

The best things in life are passed down. Football is the greatest sport. It’s the ultimate team game, and truly takes everyone working in unison to achieve success. And in my opinion, the greatest version of football is played at the college level. The quality of play in the NFL is obviously superior and the pro game is built to achieve a level of parity that is lacking in college football. However, the college game combines a high-level of play with a lot more variation of scheme than is se...

How the Scouting Combine set up Florida Gators for the 2023 NFL Draft

Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images Anthony Richardson stole the show. But the Florida contingent in general excelled at the NFL Scouting Combine. I remember buying a suit from Express in the Oaks Mall. It was nice enough, a traditional black two-piece that could pair with a classic white collar and colorful tie. It didn’t break the bank for a soon-to-be college grad who still delivered pizzas to pay the bills, but I couldn’t afford to have it tailored. Putting it on ahead of attending a j...
