Arkansas head coach Chad Morris has a well-earned reputation as an offensive guru. After directing some explosive units at Clemson, he moved to SMU where he took a one-win team, that was among the most anemic in the nation offensively at barely 11 points a game, to a bowl in his third season while averaging nearly 38 per game. When Arkansas made the decision to move on from Bret Bielema, Morris was tabbed to bring some explosiveness to Fayetteville.
Unfortunately, the cupboard was left a tad bare and things haven’t gone so well.
In two games against SEC West foes Auburn and Texas A&M, Morris’ smashmouth spread scheme has averaged a putrid 264 yards and 10.
