1. Arkansas wins on last-second field goal

This is the best Arkansas team we’ve seen in probably a decade and Sam Pittman deserves all the praise in the world. He has taken a program that was in absolute shambles and turned it into one of the best teams in the SEC in just over a year.

Arkansas had zero SEC wins in two years under Chad Morris and the Razorbacks were barreling toward rock-bottom and then Pittman won three conference games in 2020 and they hope to start league play in 2021 with a huge ranked win.

This would be a signature win for Pittman and Co., especially since the Razorbacks haven’t beaten the Aggies in almost a decade — not exactly a great sign for a “rivalry.”

But that’s going to change on Saturday afternoon as the Razorbacks play and back-and-forth battle with Texas A&M and head into the final minute all knotted up. But the Razorbacks will drive down the field and kick the game-winning field goal in the house that Jerry Jones built.

This is going to get the college football world’s attention.
