Decision on starting QB awaits

FAYETTEVILLE -- Second-year University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris did not want to start 2019 with the same quarterback shuffle the Razorbacks endured in his debut season, but that's what he's got heading into Week 3 with a 1-1 record.

Morris would not commit to a starting quarterback late Saturday after the Razorbacks fell 31-17 at Ole Miss.

The on-field results by quarterbacks Ben Hicks and Nick Starkel against the Rebels presented a stark contrast but also highlighted the very rationale Morris and offensive coordinator Joe Craddock used to name Hicks the starter for the opener.

The Arkansas offense was not as dynamic with Hicks behind center in the opening half.
