FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Chad Morris stresses the finish. And in the same breath the new Arkansas coach also stresses the start of the second half.
The Razorbacks got the start of the second half right. They scored two touchdowns in a 90-second span to take a 27-9 lead against Colorado State.
The finish is still missing.
The Rams scored the game's final 25 points to steal a 34-27 victory. It was deja vu for the Razorbacks, so often missing the closing punch over the last few seasons.
Hence, the Morris era starts almost exactly like the Bret Bielema era started and finished.
