00:00One of the best games of the day took place in the 12 o'clock window.

00:04Arkansas had a double-digit lead entering the third quarter.

00:08It looked like the Razorbacks would move to 3-1 overall,

00:12and Memphis came storming back, Coach, in the fourth quarter.

00:16Arkansas was in a position to kick the game-winning field goal,

00:20but their running back, Mike Washington, on a controversial call,

00:24fumbles the football.

00:25Memphis recovers and steals it as a seven-and-a-half-point underdog.

00:31Yeah, boy, I tell you, that's a bad way to lose that ballgame.

00:35Of course, it's Memphis, supposedly a G5-level team, right across the river.

00:40You know, they're right across the river.

00:43And there are a lot of people that are rivals in that game.

00:46And then to lose that game on a fumble with a minute and 12 seconds left,

00:50and you just lost to Ole Miss in about the exact same way.

00:54So, to your fans, these are games that, whether you played good or bad,

00:58you lost them, and you probably should have won.

01:01Not good for Sam Pittman because they're looking for reasons to go back.

01:04I think they jumped on his bandwagon, but I really think after those two losses,

01:09they'll jump on the Petrino bandwagon pretty quick.

01:12But, again, tough way to lose ballgames.

01:14Arkansas, that's kind of been the story of their season.

01:18They're a fun team to watch because they play so hard.

01:20Their quarterback's exciting, but they're finding a way to lose.

01:23Yeah, their defense got ripped on the ground.

01:26They gave up a huge 50-plus touchdown run to allow Memphis to close the gap

01:32and really take the momentum and seize it away from Talon Green in that offense.

01:37We know that Arkansas could score.

01:39They're averaging well over 500 total yards per game.

01:42And I think Talon Green is one of the most underrated quarterbacks,

01:45not just in the SEC, but all of college football.

01:48And we saw Mike Gundy be let go this week by Oklahoma State coach.

01:53I think the bigger question is when you talk about Pittman, they already had Bobby Petrino.

01:59And we know this offense is humming.

02:00Is that the right potential move for the Razorbacks?

02:03They're playing offense very well.

02:05That's not the question.

02:06The question is the defense.

02:09Yeah, and I don't know if that's the right answer.

02:11I know that's the talk of the town.

02:13That's on the radio shows going around.

02:16Whether that's the best move they can make.

02:18And if they were to fire their head coach, they don't need to do that.

02:22He's still available.

02:22They could keep him until they – if they want to go look for a coach

02:25and start getting after it, they would do something in the middle of the season.

02:29I don't know that you would do that necessarily if you've got the answer right there on your staff.

02:34I don't know the answer, but I know that's the one people talk about.

02:37Again, I'm kind of a Sam Pittman fan because I think they play so well and they play so hard

02:42and they're so close to being a very good team without a whole bunch of NIL money and portal money.

02:48They don't have a whole lot of money to play with in that regard.

02:51But I'm just saying is the way things are going right now, people start jumping on that.

02:57We've got to change course and direction.

03:00And so big win he's going to need to have this week, that's for sure.
