The comment about the carving is true, but the imagery of the piece is a little deeper. The more the "farmer" talked to Marty about faith and religion and making him doubt the more detailed it became. However, once Marty stopped listening to him it returned to less detail. It's an image of how the "farmer" was capturing Marty's soul and he was becoming the "farmers". But he loses that control over him and his faith is restored making the carving revert back.
When the old man is carving the wood, he has it almost complete, drops it and when he picks it up again it's much less carved.

During the first football game shown in the picture, when the fans rise to give the Razorback Hog Call, only one side of the stadium does it. The other half of the stadium behind the players are seated and remain silent.
