FAYETTEVILLE -- Many SEC observers predicted the University of Arkansas would struggle in the Razorbacks' first season under Coach Chad Morris.

Yet few expected the Razorbacks to be 1-5 at the midway point and riding a five-game losing streak entering the second half. From a historical perspective, no edition of the Razorbacks has started with a worse record since legendary coach Frank Broyles' debut team opened 0-6 in 1958. On the plus side, Broyles' notable turnaround shows there doesn't have to be long-term gloom for Arkansas football.

A bowl berth this season? It would take a 5-1 finish to earn those critical bonus practices.
