FAYETTEVILLE — FAYETTEVILLE — Post Arkansas’ 31-17 SEC loss last Saturday at Ole Miss, defensive coordinator John Chavis took a publicly harder line Monday assessing the Razorbacks defense than did head coach Chad Morris.
“I thought our defense kept us in the game, especially in the first three quarters,” Morris said. “We scored on defense (safety Kamren Curl’s 69-yard touchdown of a fumble recovery). We created some momentum that gave us a chance. But they were on the field entirely too long.”
Arkansas’ offense, with only six first-half first downs and on the first-half field just 13:42 to Ole Miss’ 16:18, takes some of the blame but shouldn’t inordinately.
