Pittman: Hogs need Malik Chavis on the field

FAYETTEVILLE — Malik Chavis saw his snap count from Arkansas’ first two games against Cincinnati and South Carolina more than double last Saturday against Missouri State.

In third-year coach Sam Pittman’s mind, that should likely be the norm in the coming weeks as the 10-ranked Razorbacks reassess their secondary ahead of the Southwest Classic showdown against No. 23 Texas A&M in Arlington, Texas, this weekend.

Chavis saw the field for 11 snaps in Week 1 and 23 snaps in the team’s SEC opener in Week 2. His reps jumped to 70 — 56 in the passing game, 14 in the run game — against the Bears, according to Pro Football Focus.
