FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks breezed to a 55-20 victory over Eastern Illinois in Chad Morris' head coaching debut Saturday, but hardly anyone could have written how the winning script played out.
Ty Storey came off the bench to pass for 261 yards and three touchdowns -- most of it in a dazzling 28-point second quarter -- as Arkansas jumped out to a big lead before an announced crowd of 63,342 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
But the bigger story was the University of Arkansas defense, which pried away five fumbles -- including four in the first half -- that were converted into 24 points.
