Like It Is:
Hogs accomplished what they needed to in opener

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman runs onto the field prior to a game against Western Carolina on Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, in Little Rock.
All things considered, it was about what it should have been.
Arkansas won 56-13 beating everything, including the betting line of 34.5 points, in its season-opener Saturday against Western Carolina, an FCS opponent.
