LITTLE ROCK — Clues regarding Sam Pittman’s first Arkansas team are so scarce that a circuitous approach might yield the most realistic calculation of expectations for the Razorbacks.
In other words, employing particulars about Arkansas’ 12 opponents to arrive at a legitimate over-under total for victories by a team that has won one SEC game in the last three years makes more sense than relying on uncorroborated judgments about Razorback coaches and players.
After all:
• Pittman has no record as the head coach of a four-year school.
• There was no spring practice to showcase capabilities of new or relatively obscure athletes or illustrate a fresh enthusiasm.
