FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive coordinator John Chavis is looking forward to the day when he can walk into his Monday press conference with a smile on his face.
Over the last two weeks, and for much of Arkansas’ six-game losing streak, he’s had little to smile about. His Razorbacks defense has allowed 1,250 yards of offense to the Southeastern Conference’s top two offenses and given up nearly 100 in the past two weekends.
Chavis has been the leader of a number of top defenses in college football in his quarter-century as an SEC coordinator. A Chavis-coached defense has ranked among the top four in the league in total defense 15 times.
