FAYETTEVILLE -- The light-hearted, often joking approach first-year University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman displayed on more than a dozen video conferences and radio appearances through the spring and summer was noticeably absent on Monday.
Pittman looked and sounded serious during his first official in-season news conference, held once again on Zoom as a result of the covid-19 pandemic.
It's game week for Pittman and the Arkansas Razorbacks. Not only is it Pittman's major college head coaching debut at 3 p.m. Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, the game is also against No. 4 Georgia, the school he served as ace recruiter and offensive line coach extraordinaire the last four years.
