Arkansas coach Sam Pittman talks loss to Texas A&M
SUMMARY: The team’s defense was impressively physical, causing issues for the offense throughout the game. Despite leading in the fourth quarter, penalties and turnovers hindered their chances of winning. The offense struggled with consistency, relying too much on big plays, and couldn’t effectively protect the quarterback. The coach noted that early-game struggles with one-on-one blocking led to increased pressure on the quarterback, contributing to the turnovers. Efforts to adjust the game plan at halftime included moving the pocket, but they couldn’t overcome defensive challenges. Although there were moments of success, ultimately, the team felt frustrated by missed opportunities and the inability to capitalize on their strengths.
