Congrats Razorbacks. Glad to see yall back in success after that long drought. Love from a Kentucky Wildcat.
Thanks! Same goes to you guys, heck of a season.
Thanks Fam, it's been rough on us being in the SEC! We just need to beat Bama one time before I die LOL!
I remember 5 years ago when "worse record than Kentucky" seemed like it was as bad is it could get. Little did I know it was going to get much worse. Now "worse record than Kentucky" can be 9 wins. How times have changed. Congrats.
@@Zack-yl1qf Same to you man. Both our teams have made huge strides forward.
I am glad to see Kentucky so high and the best season I have ever witnessed in my 30 years
As a Georgia fan. Congratulations to Arkansas, they definitely had a good year this year.
Arkansas makes some of the best 2nd half adjustments this season. Fantastic coaching
Penn State was down 7 starters on defense. Run game just wore down the 2nd and 3rd stringers
@@wad9799 Run game would’ve wore down the starters, too. Arkansas was just the better team.
@@shunsha8606 Yep all the NFL draft picks would’ve got worn down great take
As an LSU fan, I could not be more happy for Sam Pitman and this Arkansas team. Unbelievable turnaround by them
Go Tiger's 🐯💜💛
Same as a Georgia fan. Love coach Pitt
@@garysampson1894 Roll Tide, I love seeing the SEC teams win these bowl games. UGA absolutely dominated vs Michigan. I look forward to the rematch. Roll Tide and good luck dawgs
I'm a Razorback from way back but I love LSU and the people from Louisiana in general. I was stationed at Ft Polk when I was 17 years old and I went to Louisiana last year to help restore power after the hurricanes. I always got treated like family when I was there. These people from the ACC and B1G don't get why we route for each other when our team isn't playing. I get it completely...it's about the people. Geaux Tigers..Go SEC.
Same from a Bama fan
Man Arkansas has some quarterbacks. Exciting team to watch.
They need to cause none of them wanna go down. They all take way to many hits. Tough is one thing. Stupid is another.
Good QB*
I personally don't like Honrnsby. Nothing against him personally I just don't think he brings much to the table aside from his speed. I think he's playing the wrong position. But he 110% isn't a threat with his arm. I get nervous when he's put in the game.
@@joeheid4757 watch your mouth
@@ziggzagg8878 the same was said about KJ and he got better as the season progressed 🤦🏾♂️

Not anymore
@@TheNostalgiaFiend he jus came back
@@darronwilliams4641 yeah I seen he withdrew from the portal. We still have KJ anyway, but he is a solid backup right , especially since our depth chart needs him. Should he stay, he will most likely take the QB position. Maybe. He played well when he had to in the Outback Bowl. You never know what's gonna happen these days lol
The turnaround Arkansas has had is incredible. They went from dead last in the SEC West two years ago, to making it to the Outback Bowl. Y'all got something special brewing down there, and I am interested to see where it goes
After this year literally no where.
@@madmax8949 Jealous much?
@@lynmac5536 Believe me NOBODY is jealous of Arkansas.
@@madmax8949 You seem to have a unhealthy fixation with them. Maybe you should get some help for that.

Arkansas is the best 8-4 team. They had the potential to be 10-2.

Let’s face it. Arkansas was the feel good story of 2021
UGA fan, and like most fans of SEC teams I got nothing but love for the Hogs and what they've done this year. I definitely miss Sam Pittman but he's where he belongs and it shows. Congrats on an incredible season and many more to come Hogs fans, y'all deserve it!
Sam Pittman has to be coach of the year. Zero preseason expectations for this team with the toughness of their schedule. And look what they've done. 👏👏👏
With 90% of another coach's recruits, 29 seniors with 13 being "super seniors." Next several years are gonna be tough sledding for the Piglets.
@@madmax8949 Recruiting will be much easier after a season like this, and both those speedy QBs are coming back. Their defense will absolutely lose key pieces but it's not so bleak.
@@jayr.3720 It's also going to be easier for BAMA and Georgia. Arkansas gets the leftovers.
@@madmax8949 Oh I know the pecking order. But who says they can't make a good team out of those leftovers. They've just done it. Nobody is assuming they beat Bama long as Saban's there. But overachieving in Pittman's first year now makes them a more attractive option than say Florida or LSU. The entire program is improving fundamentally is my point.
Mad Max I can’t think of a player Georgia ever got out of Arkansas I know there must be some but I don’t remember any.
Sam Pitman is as classy a coach as there is. The energy has been unmatched since he stepped foot on campus at Arkansas. I can see why players would want to play for him. He really treats the players like his own and instills blue collar mentality. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Arkansas and Coach Pitman.
Comming from a tide fan good job arky. Its nice to see the hogs good again see yall next year. Sec sec SEC!!
Arkansas brought the hammer in the second half.....
The hammers name is KJ
@@michaeldeal2979 that’s a freight train
Yesiree, KJ wore them out with his legs.
I have a really good feeling about K.J. Jefferson and his chances in the pros. Very similar build and play style to Cam Newton.
If his knees hold up.
Without the neurotic behavior.

What an outstanding job Sam has done at Arkansas.
Great job Razorbacks
My last time seeing Grant Morgan Hayden Henry and Bumper Pool play together at Linebacker core Thank yall for coming back what a great season....
Bumper is coming back.
This team needs more recognition it ain’t easy going against Texas A&M, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Auburn at 11 AM (when you’re already historically bad at 11 AM games) and only 1 was in Fayetteville on top of an already tough schedule and still went 9-4 also I don’t hear too many AAC fans now that SEC went from 0-5 to 4-5 and two SEC teams are in the natty
@Harold Hall A&M couldn't play because they didn't have enough players due to covid. If you count that as a win against the SEC then that's just sad. It's 5-5
@@oscarma15 Whatever happened to the exalted 12th man of A&M??!!

Arkansas went and found Lamar Jackson’s lil cousin to back up Cam Newton’s nephew😂😂💪🏾
It was thrilling to see my Hogs play against an iconic college football program and do so well esp. after the morris years.
That Arkansas QB Jefferson is a monster. Reminds me a little of Daunte Culpepper. Maybe a little smaller, but a little quicker.
Yeah
Reminds me of a short career!
@@escapedagain3339 Hopefully longer than Daunte's.
Any good team (unlike penn state) knows how to tackle and that will practically shut down his game. People overrating him already cuz he can beat the second half of the season penn state team💀💀
@@kaps1___785 Besides Georgia, he ran through every defense. Even against Bama, KJ made plays in which he carried multiple Bama defenders for a few yards.
The size difference between the sec and Big 10 is wild.
Great game and great season,Arkansas.
From a Georgia fan.
There really isnt a size difference lmao
@@urbanexplorer260 Size difference you could argue all you want, but the SEC is a lot tougher and physical everytime a team outside the SEC plays one of us they get man handle defensively wise.
@@loremasterdoge6450 Statistically speaking there are plenty of teams who match up in toughness and physicality OUTSIDE of the SEC. Big Ten, ACC, Big 12. They all can hang on a regular season basis, but what throws off this argument is the 2-3 SEC giants who breed NFL bots right off the farm
@@timchamberlin9280 Yes, good point. People think thr gap between the BT and the SEC is astronomical, which it's really not
@@timchamberlin9280 Exactly
Arkansas... welcome back!!!
Glad to see arkansas looking good in a win. Good job guys !
Hats off to Arkansas, Sam Pittman has got to be coach of the year
It’s simply amazing what Pittman has done with Arkansas in 2 short years.
With 90% of the previous coach's recruits!!
Having 90% of Chad Morris’s players is not an advantage.😂 Just stop it
@@richardbaker_0086 How else can you explain it? 29 seniors, 13 of which are "super seniors" and a few transfers. Pitt has only been there 2 years so any of his recruits are sophomores.
@@madmax8949 This incoming class is higher rated than any class Morris had. If anything the talent will get better.
@@andymcadams7804 #9 composite points??!! That sounds middle of the pack to me. 14 3-stars and 5 4-stars does not win SEC championships.
Praying to god Coach Pitman doesn’t ride motorcycles.
HE IS NOT A BSer like that Motorooter Guy.
Very happy, as an Arkansas fan, finishing 9-4. So close to 10-3, but we lost by ONE POINT to Ole Miss. Also put up a decent fight against Alabama. Gonna be a long wait for football season to come back around. Can’t wait to see more from Sam Pittman and KJ Jefferson. Go Hogs
WOOO PIIIIGGG! ABOUT TIME WE ARE ACTUALLY GOOD FOR A WHOLE YEAR AND WIN THE BOWL GAME
Next year We almost play all the same teams except we get Cincinnati and Liberty instead of Rice and ARK Pine Bluff. So yeah I think Arkansas will have the toughest schedule again next season .
We also get BYU and South Carolina instead of Texas and Georgia.
WPS!
@@MrClobbertime BYU is another team that did great this year. I think we will do pretty well against this schedule hopefully.
@@remforrest BYU is currently 12th in the ap poll. I expect them to be better than Texas was. For some reason those guys always start every season way over ranked.
This Arkansas team is 🔥
Ark, will be even be better next year.
What an absolute disgrace of a season for Penn State. I’m not even a Penn State fan but from where they started to finishing 7-6 is badddd
Not that I disagree, this was an awful finish, but our four best players (Dotson, Brisker, Ebekite, Mustipher) weren’t playing in this game.
Sadly we get to experience another 10 years worth of letdowns with Franklin’s new contract.
At least they played in the Greatest Game known to man. Losing to Illinois 20-18 in 9 OT
They were playing with half their defense and their best offensive player
Excuses excuses. They suck
We have some really fast kids coming back next year. WOO PIG!
hornsby sanders kj and a pretty good recieving core arkansas is scary on offense ,pittman needs to find a decent kickoff ount returner ,a couple of recievers ,colledge transfer maybe
Penn State had 9 players sit out this game? What is the point in fans backing a team that clearly doesn't back them?
Stop complaining
No excuses. They got beat.
I agree👍🏿
At 7 and 5 they shouldn't even got a news years day game.the all mighty dollar again wins out
@@mattfrye3738 Yor right about that. 5-7 teams can make bowls nowadays

They have a track team over there in Arkansas !
The Big 10 will never be in the same class as the SEC!
Absolutely correct.
We play so much above their level.
Hit harder, run faster, practice longer....the list goes on.
In the south football is the sport.
Go Hogs....
Hornsby is going to be nasty one day!! 🔥🔥 🔥
If he can pass
Already is
@@timroberts1543 he hasn’t done very good when he has tried throwing
@@bradybuchanan246 I agree with that. He is good but all he has shown is speed. Can’t read the defense and can’t throw. The QB behind him Lucas Coley can run and throw very well. I don’t think Hornsby will ever start for Arkansas.
What ever. You don’t know what you talking about. You better go back and look at some highlights that this young man has. A person cannot show what they have if you don’t give them the opportunity.
Yo PENN ST… Tackling drills!
James Franklin will never win at Penn St. No way. They should have fired him instead of giving him a new contract. He's done little since he came. Ridiculous contract extension for a coach that didn't deserve it.
Yeah but who wants to coach at Penn st??
@@medicalpiff803 o they could do much better than franklin
Good job bacon bits. I was pulling for y'all
Bacon bits, LOL. Good luck in the natty Alabama girl. I’ll be pulling for you guys, gotta stick with the sec west. WOOOO PIG!
You don't mean Bac-O's imitation bacon bits do you?!
Arkansas is a real good 😌 team
The Razorbacks deserved this but time for those bois to focus on next season, because they have the number 1 toughest conference schedule next season.
So, we had the number one hardest schedule this year too.
Beating 3 Texas schools, including destroying Texas when all Texas fans were talking smack, beating A&M handily for the first time in forever, beating Ms State, Missouri, and LSU, with 2 losses coming against the team's in the national championship, and one coming against a Sugar Bowl bound top
8 Ole Miss team. What a ride. Go hogs!
And even keeping a close game with Alabama,which I think is very notable.Arkansas was a silent force this year that was rarely talked about.
Dude, we beat A&M way harder 43-17 when Mallet was qb.
This Focua guy for Arkansas is a beast.. should've been MVP
I hope Arkansas can keep these coaches Pittman has hired to work with him. They could really build something special. We've dropped a few games and looked a little rough recently in basketball but Muss is the real deal and the future is still very bright, next year's class might become an iconic one!
Franklin just keeps doubling down on stupid. Penn State's defense's greatest obstacle is the Penn State QB. Clifford simply is a horrible QB.
I strongly agree.
Come on. Franklin ain’t that bad. Did you see that fake punt call? 😉
Listen to that razorback crowd
KJ telegraphs the snap count. He leans forward right before the snap.
Yo, Arkansas fans, who is Malik Hornsby??? As a Bama fan, I'm terrified, he gives me Lamar Jackson vibes.
Backup QB. Kid has wheels. I’m hoping he is patient and willing to wait his turn. Legit 10.2 guy
he is a young secret weapon highly rated qb
Funny thing that Chad Morris passed on this kid, Jacolby Criswell, and Haynes King to sign his son
He was top 5 dual threat QB coming out of high school... he just waiting for his turn once KJ leaves....
@@danielpassmore5026 Sheesh, if he waits his turn and continues to develop in the passing game he has a chance to be great. It's scary the talent that Sam has gotten on campus lately. SEC West is a blood bath.
Kickass season! WoooPigSoouuiiee!!!
As a Arkansas Razorbacks fan I must say it's good to be back. Much love to all of the teams in the SEC. And of course Go Hogs!!!!
Penn State lost a lot of depth with all of those starting D men opting out. The second stringers aren't bad players, necessarily, it's just that the guys were they subbing in were third stringers with little experience. The effects didn't really start to show until the second half. It was competitive for a little while.
Lotta respect for Penn State. Those boys didn't give up...just ran out of gas
Ya but our QB stinks. Sean Clifford just isn't very good but how many Penn State QB's are? I thought we were overrated all season. But thx for the kind words. The kids did show heart but really the talent just isn't there. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I think it's more of the experience Arkansas has on their 2 and 3 deep. It's not uncommon for SEC teams to play those guy a third of the snaps in some cases. Especially on the lines where Penn state looked the most gassed.
Arkansas was missing 3 of its top 4 players.
Wr-treylon burks is gettin drafted.
Ss-catalon had season ending surgery.
De-tre williams got a dui last week.
@@darronwilliams4641 Penn state had like 10 or 11 starters out and 1 injured 😂
👏 to ARK.
Great job
I told my wife Sam Pittman was a good coach and would do something to turn them around see she's from Arkansas and I'm from Oklahoma she's a hog fan and I'm a sooner fan but I watch all college football and am glad to see them turn it back around hope they are even better next year too
Man I really wish they would bring back college football for game consoles
@Landon Lee dude I can not wait
Huge hog fan. So happy 4 them. They came to win today and they did. They played an outstanding game. We r proud of them and thank u coach Pittman. He should get coach of the yr. They been playing this yr like we know they can. Go hogs.
A great game for the Arkansas Razorbacks
How neat to see my favorite linebacker corp. ever at Arkansas finish up against Linebacker U!
Huge hog fan here I loved this season I miss it
Clemson is the only team not in the playoffs, with ZERO opt outs. :)
It's ruining my favorite sport.
Bowls are completely worthless now. They outta make these greedy bastards pay back their tuition if they leave the team hanging.
@@richardbaker_0086 Greedy bastards? They make millions for their universities and for the NCAA without receiving a paycheck. The greedy bastards are the NCAA, who refuse to allow them to get the money they deserve for all the work they do, all the tickets they sell, all the entertainment they provide, etc.
If you were about to get the opportunity to finally get the pay you deserve-millions of dollars-would you risk injury and those millions by playing in a game for free? Why?
@@richardbaker_0086 You're right. Just in the last few years players have decided to forget the team concept and chase bucks as a Soph/junior and even freshmen. With players bailing out on teams and transfers....bowls suffer outside the BCS.
@@AisuruMirai Don't forget the reason they come to a school is to get a free education in exchange for playing. They can go to the NFL if they are good enough or make a living with their marketing degree
I am a Razorback fan and delighted with the win. However, Penn State played well the first half. Pigs passing game was not effective in 1st half. Arkansas's defense won the game, along with run game 2nd half. Despite the score, Penn St team never gave up. They have tallented players.
Penn-State needs to look for a new head coach. Always has exceptional talent on team and just can't do it. Been saying this for 4 years now. Had Ohio-State 2 times and blew it. Just an opinion. You know what they say about opinions also. Players are to elite for this type of record.
The sad thing is they just signed a $75MM contract with this guy. How on earth a 7-6 coach can get that much money?!
I watched Penn State and they had the BEST Wide Receiver. #5 Jahan Dotson. Whenever he gets the football in his hands, he makes plays. When he does not get it, they lose games. I don't care how many All Americans Mr. Franklin gets, that #14 will not throw them the ball
I saw no defensive player from Penn State leap off the film like Micah did two years ago. Think about that. How great is Micah? Wow! DC4L!
I’d like to see Central Arkansas and Arkansas State play the hogs. I healthy annual meeting, support in state funding and atmosphere.
This is an indictment on how bad Franklin is and why PSU messed up by keeping him!
That population went here that population went there.. but we all watch the same show. . And me belief is that Portis contribute greatly
Is it just me but James Franklin has made poor decisions but sometimes he gets too much criticism. I mean is he the one that overthrows a wide open tight end or is he the one missing tackles or missing field goals, that's just me though, Psu has plenty of talent but our guys have gotta limit the mistakes, also we need a new Qb and offensive cooridanator
75 million dollars doesn't buy what it used to...
Franklin’s play calling in critical situations and game management skills just plain stink. I won’t be shedding any tears when Clifford departs either. It was saddened to hear that he plans on coming back this year.
WPS
It looks like KJ had a little talk with himself at half time cause his play kicked up several notches after half time it's like he told himself we're gonna win this game if I've got to put this whole team on my back. Not to take anything away from the rest of the guys they played well but KJ stepped it uuup.
Arkansas lost by a touchdown to Alabama and less than that to Mississippi and Mississippi State. Other than the beatdown by Georgia they looked strong in every game they played against a strong schedule. Great season for the Razorbacks.
The SEC leads the Big Ten 18-11 all-time in Outback bowl games.
Funny that Sean Clifford made the decision to come back as a 6th year senior. He has no chance of cracking a CFL roster.
I’m pretty sure Arkansas would beat Michigan and Ohio State the Big 10 is a joke.
Michigan was playing at only 70% of their ability due to the players being forced to take nasty covid booster shots, which put them under the weather and feeling lethargic.
osu would mop arkansas
@@ultimatebuckeye buhhaaa
@@ultimatebuckeye um no. OSU would be average in the SEC. You guys see mediocre football weekly. You get to play the equivalent of Vandy every other week.
@@razorbackfan2011 y’all would be be able to stop our offense and that’s facts
Franklin needs to step his game up
He needs to go
Sec is by far the best football conference, by far
James Franklin played PSU big time offering all that money. Worse than the Clay Helton deal with usc.
Beaver Stadium was probably the only place on the planet Penn State would have beaten Auburn this year.
It was a great game seeing them beat Penn St
Go hogs but man.. Thier qb Clifford.. dude was like a scared amateur
You are correct.
Looked good until they started getting hit by our line...
Then they crumbled like most of those northern teams.
Sec is real football
He sucks
I was at the game, i didnt see a player that “sucked”…i think he played ok, he gave them chances. N im a ark fan.

Two of the affected bowls found replacement teams to keep the games alive.
C-Covid: 5-2
It should've been SEC 6-4 and Big 10 5-4. The refs took that game away from Tennessee when the replay clearly shows he wasn't down.
Pac 12 does know it's ok to try, righr?
Why would anyone commit to Penn State? As long as Akron is still recruiting players, why would ANYONE play for Franklin?
Noah Cain?!?! Lol that’s funny
Four commercials in 8:29 minutes!!

The sky is the limit for Arkansas. There ONLY problem is keeping Sam Pittman there because he has completely turned that program around in such little time
He's publicly stated that he wants this to be his last job. He's not going anywhere unless it's not his decision.
GO HOGS!
💥
When Hornsby gets his chance he gone be a problem
I forgot Ped State still played football
🙌🙏🙌
What's the point of all these bowl games if starting players opt out?...its an inferior product and even clearly impacted PSU's defense in this one. I get why they do it, it's just hard to get up for the games.
This is not the NFL... They are college students and it gives other kids on the team a shot to play... last time I checked a school has 85 scholarships. Once a couple of kids decide to protect themselves and not play in a exhibition game its up to the kids who uave practiced all year to step up....
@@lecurymccray5804 so bowl games are to give nonstarters playing time and the games are still supposed to mean something to fans? The sports media still hypes these games like they mean something. Really, the college football playoff has rendered these games an unnecessary wastes if time. Like I said, I get why players with a shot at the NFL opt out of these games. However, these are not the same teams we watched all season long. It is hard to be interested in what amounts to preseason like scrimmage games. Just do an actual preseason game right before the season then. That would be much more meaningful in testing a team's depth. Afterall, some of these backups that we saw play in the bowls will not be with their current teams after entering the transfer portal in the offseason.
@@mackeydirk8643 These are college kids living out their dreams. Some are more talented than others who will have better opportunities. You go to college to earn a degree or create a opportunity for yourselves. It’s just so happens that entertainment is apart of the sports experience and fans only want to support the best players not the entire team. The playoffs has nothing to do with these games being unnecessary. They are exhibition just like they were Pryor to the playoffs and all the imaginary bowl championships given out. The best four teams play for the championship while the rest play a exhibition game like it has always been. Fans only care about cheering on their favorite player. It’s 85 scholarship kids. Support them or go watch poker. Not supporting them is like getting made that Bill gates drop out of college and not going to your child’s graduation because bill gates won’t be there..😂😂
How is the massive hit on Penn states qb not in this?
Where is Bilema?
