FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas was last in this position - coming off a season of nine wins or more - 10 years ago. Sam Pittman - the antithesis, personality-wise, to coach Bobby Petrino, whose wreck in April 2012 turned into a scandal that cost him his job - led the Razorbacks to a 9-4 record last season, capping it with the Razorbacks' first New Year's Day bowl since 2000 and a win over Penn State. The previous four years saw Arkansas win between two and four games in a dismal stretch that cost the program fans, attention and respect.
