College Football: Signs of hope for Power Five’s worst teams in 2020

SEC: Arkansas

Arkansas has hit a valley in their programs history after being a respected football team since at least the 1960s. The bad performances in Fayetteville began with a 4-8 season in 2017, followed by consecutive 2-10 years in 2018 and 2019. That being said, of every team mentioned today, the Razorbacks have arguably the strongest program.

Bouncing back shouldn’t be too difficult for Arkansas considering their schools history, but this program hasn’t been itself since 2011. Sam Pittman will come in and try to help a program out that has lost 19 consecutive conference games.

The reason for hope in Fayetteville? An experienced offensive line, strong running back and new head coach who has been referred to as an “offensive line savant”. He’ll add Florida transfer quarterback Feleipe Franks to the depth chart and the offense that struggled last year just got a shot in the arm.

We should see more instant success with Arkansas than we will with any other team listed here. If you’re an SEC fan, don’t sleep on the Razorbacks this coming season.
