FAYETTEVILLE- It was a tough Sunday afternoon in Fayetteville following the Hogs’ lackluster loss to Mississippi State on Saturday. At seemingly the low point of the season, Arkansas just simply could not muster any offense against the Bulldogs. Mississippi State boarded their airplane for Starkville after the game with their first SEC win of the season at the expense of the Razorbacks.
Following Saturday’s loss, Arkansas head football coach Sam Pittman relieved offensive coordinator Dan Enos of his responsibilities. In a statement from the University of Arkansas, Enos is “no longer a member of the Razorbacks’ program effective immediately. Wide receivers coach and former Ohio State quarterback Kenny Guiton will take over play calling duties for the Hogs for the remainder of the season.”
Arkansas will be off on Saturday on a bye week in their schedule and will next play at Gainesville against the Florida Gators on November 4.
As for the Mississippi State loss, the highlights are few, and here they are as released by the University of Arkansas:
» DB Alfahiym Walcott is this year’s Crip Hall Award winner, which is presented to the Razorbacks’ most outstanding senior in Arkansas’ homecoming game.
» K Cam Little improved to 18-for-18 (100%) from 20-29 yards for his career with his 24-yard field goal in the first quarter.
