FAYETTEVILLE — As the University of Arkansas capped off its 33-21 win over Ole Miss on Saturday, ESPN analyst Rod Gilmore gave voice to what many around the SEC were thinking.
The Razorbacks (2-2) are the “surprise” team in the SEC through four weeks of the season, Gilmore proclaimed.
Considering the betting line in Las Vegas for the number of wins in 2020 for Arkansas was 1.5, the fact the Razorbacks already have pocketed two wins — and are a blown officiating call away from a third at Auburn — lends credence to Gilmore’s remark.
The Razorbacks, under the leadership of first-year Coach Sam Pittman, are energizing their fans, sparking hope for underdogs everywhere and surprising many SEC pundits.
