If you want a visual microcosm of Chad Morris’ one-plus seasons in Fayetteville, here ya go.
In his first 18 games as Arkansas’ head coach, Morris has gone 4-14; included in that is an 0-11 record in SEC play. This year, the Razorbacks are 2-4, with one of those wins coming by seven points against FCS Portland State at home.
In Week 8, Arkansas was a significant home underdog to No. 11 Auburn, with the Tigers as much as a three-touchdown road favorite. In its role of underdog, Arkansas was looking to pull out all of the stops in trying to steal its first-ever conference win under Morris.
So, trailing 17-0 early in the second quarter, the Hogs dialed-up a fake punt that, suffice to say, didn’t exactly go as planned as the punter, Sam Loy, channelled his inner Garo Yepremian (YouTube it, kids) to make some ignominious history.
Yeah, what he said...
