Arkansas Football: 3 takeaways from near-upset win vs. Auburn

1. Culture has changed in Fayetteville already

Sam Pittman has done the unthinkable.

After years of being the laughing stock of the SEC, the Razorbacks finally picked up their first win in three seasons in conference play last week against Mississippi State. Before that, the Razorbacks opened the season with a great first half against Georgia, taking a 7-5 lead into halftime against the Bulldogs.

And now on Saturday, the Razorbacks were a two-point conversion away in the third quarter from tying the No. 13 team in the country on the road.

In just one year, Pittman has taken Arkansas from punching bag to legit upset threat. A year ago, this team loses to all three teams it has played by double-digits. Not under Pittman.

Arkansas is no longer an easy win and Georgia and Auburn have both learned that and Mississippi State found out the hard way.

The culture in Fayetteville has changed, folks. The pride is back.
