Hog Central Podcast with Steve Sullivan

Arkansas played well enough to stay in the game, but not well enough to overcome a top ten team like Texas. On this episode of the Hog Central Podcast, Steve Sullivan and David Bazzel ask the questions that are on everyone's mind: Why has Talen Green become ineffective as a dual-threat QB? Is Bobby Petrino making the right play calls? Why can't the O-line protect the QB? And what does it mean for the future of the Sam Pittman era?

It’s an epic rivalry that spans generations – Texas vs Arkansas! On this episode of the Hog Central Podcast, Steve Sullivan and David Bazzel preview the game we’ve been waiting for all season - The Hogs and the Horns on the Hill! The downside – a disappointing loss against Ole Miss. The upside –a bye week gives the Razorbacks an extra week to heal and prepare. Will that be enough to stop Sarkisian’s #3 ranked Longhorns? How does this game affect Sam Pittman’s future at Arkansas?  

The Razorbacks suffer a embarrassing defeat at the hands of Ole Miss Rebels, leaving them one game short of bowl eligibility with only three games to go.

With Sam Pittman now in the hot-seat, would a home loss to the Longhorns be the final straw? Is Bobby Petrino the heir apparent?

A historic victory on the hill as the unranked Arkansas Razorbacks upset the #4 Tennessee Volunteers! On this episode of the Hog Central Podcast, Sully and Baz relive the historic win that breathes new life into the rest of the season. Has Baz finally seen the fighting spirit he’s been looking for from this team? How was the Razorback defense able to shut down one of the top performing offenses in the country? Does the upcoming bye week help or hurt the hogs? And with a parade of ranked teams coming through Fayetteville, can Sam Pittman pull off another upset and climb into the top 25?

The Razorbacks find a way to win their SEC opener at Auburn. On this episode of the Hog Central Podcast, Steve (Sully) Sullivan and David Bazzel talk about the improvements this team has made over last year, and look ahead to next week’s big showdown as Arkansas travels to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX to take on Jimbo Fisher’s Texas A&M Aggies. What could a win in “Jerry World” mean for momentum going into the rest of the season? Will the Aggies be able to stop Talen Green and his ability to pick up big 3rd down yardage? Have Sam Pittman and Bobby Petrino finally hit their stride?

On this episode of the Hog Central Podcast… lots of questions remain after the Razorbacks struggle with a slow start in their home opener against University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB). Will Bobby Petrino have to make a change after poor QB play from Taylen Green, and why hasn’t he used Luke Hasz more? Why did this win feel like a loss, and why weren’t the Hogs ready? Now, as Arkansas travels to Auburn to take on Hugh Freeze’s Tigers (a team with QB issues of their own) can the Razorbacks rise to the occasion in what Baz calls a “must-win” for Sam Pittman. Plus we’ll take a look around the SEC at some surprisingly close games for LSU and Georgia.
