Hogs eager to shed reputation for blown leads

FAYETTEVILLE — The 10-point lead for Arkansas in the fourth quarter at Colorado State might have felt secure in some places. Not so much to those familiar with the Razorbacks under coach Bret Bielema.

Sure enough, the Rams scored 17 unanswered points to earn its first win of the season, 34-27, and drop Arkansas to 1-1.

"We did not handle success well," coach Chad Morris said. "We lost our focus. We lost our attention of what got us to that point. We were one stop and one score away from that thing being over with."

When Morris was hired in late 2017, he inherited a team that had seen its fair share of squandered leads.
