Hogs want to end up with kicks

FAYETTEVILLE -- One of the mantras espoused by University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris the past two weeks and repeated by quarterback Nick Starkel on Tuesday has been "end every drive with a kick."

Of course that means a field goal, an extra point, a kickoff or a punt, as opposed to a turnover or a loss of downs. The Razorbacks have had their share of the latter two recently, with six interceptions and three failed fourth-down conversions in the past two games, a 31-24 loss to San Jose State and a 31-27 loss to Texas A&M.

Morris was asked Wednesday how to balance holding to that mantra while allowing Starkel to be aggressive with his decisions against Kentucky on Saturday.
