FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Coach Chad Morris is looking for better first-down efficiency when the Razorbacks (1-0) take on Colorado State (0-2) in their road opener Saturday in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Razorbacks made three of their biggest plays -- touchdown passes covering 14, 48 and 57 yards to La'Michael Pettway and Jordan Jones -- on first-down snaps.
Otherwise, the first-down numbers were underwhelming.
"Our lack of efficiency on first downs caused us to be in a lot of second and longs," Morris said. "We had 27 first-down opportunities, and 13 of those we were in second and long.
