Let's talk about this game with Jackson Fuller from the Southwest Times record covering

0:43.7

the Arkansas Razorbacks.

0:45.1

Before we get into the game, I feel like with what's happened at Penn State and LSU and Florida,

0:51.5

the Arkansas coaching vacancy has kind of just gone under the radar at this point.

0:56.2

Where is that search in your mind? Is Petrino going to end up being the guy or do they look outside?

1:02.8

I think there was some momentum building for him, especially after like the first two games that he played,

2:02.5

I think he's got to win at least two of them. But I definitely think if you had to ask me right now, I think it'll be from outside the program just based on, you know, how his time here is interim coach is gone. You just haven't seen enough changes from when Sam Pittman was the coach. So that kind of begs the question then that this Arkansas team, they struggled all season long.
