FAYETTEVILLE — It’s probably good that I’d pressed my mute button as Sam Pittman answered the final question in his pre-spring Zoom media interview session Thursday.

It masked my uncontrolled laughter as Pittman said exactly what I figured he’d do with a No. 6 national ranking from Fox Sports football writer RJ Young.

Pittman’s first two years at Arkansas have been easy as far as motivation. The Hogs were at the bottom of the college football world — the abyss in my words — so they worked with a chip on their shoulders.
