FAYETTEVILLE — Shortly after Chad Morris announced that Arkansas’ defense intercepted three passes in the Razorbacks’ second fall scrimmage, defensive coordinator John Chavis was asked to describe the plays.
Chavis, instead, cut straight through the sunshine and lamented his disapproval in the way his unit tackled on Saturday. About 20 minutes before Chavis stepped to the downstairs podium in the Fred Smith Center, Morris hinted at some tackling issues in the secondary.
The interceptions — made by freshman Joe Foucha, Santos Ramirez and D’Vone McClure — were great plays to build on, Chavis said, but he made it abundantly clear his defense wasn’t as sharp as he’d hoped it would be.
