We’re going to see a massive leap by Arkansas into the top 10 this weekend after beating No. 7 Texas A&M in a rivalry battle at AT&T Stadium.

KJ Jefferson got hurt in the third quarter and Malik Hornsby had to come in and shut the door and he did just that. Jefferson had a solid game against the Aggies and scored a couple of touchdowns to give Arkansas a big lead early on. If not for Jefferson’s solid play, we may not be talking about an Arkansas upset this week.

Arkansas ended a nine-game losing streak in the series which is not only impressive but it shows the direction that this Razorback program is headed in.

Pittman took over last season after Chad Morris ran the program into the ground and the Razorbacks had lost 20 straight SEC game but now they’re 4-0 and likely a top-10 team come Sunday.

Everyone needs to jump on the Arkansas bandwagon now before it’s too late. This team has the feel of a surprise playoff contender.
