Arkansas running back Dominique Johnson carries the ball Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021, during practice at the university practice facility in Fayetteville.

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman put his humor into gear with the crowd at the Catfish Hole during his first appearance of the season on the radio show “Sam Pittman Live” on Wednesday.

When asked about the running back situation by host Chuck Barrett, Pittman got around to sophomore big back Dominique Johnson, who took a short turn at tight end earlier in camp.

“We moved Dominique Johnson to tight end for a day, and then we moved him back to running back and he was like twice as good,” said Pittman, drawing laughs from the crowd.
