Investment in special teams coordinator varies across SEC

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Chad Morris mentioned early in his Monday press conference that the Razorbacks’ performance on special teams against Auburn last week was unacceptable.

The Tigers found a great deal of success in punt and kickoff return in a 34-3 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn’s Noah Igbinoghene returned a Connor Limpert kickoff 96-yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, immediately following the Razorbacks’ lone score of the game.

Arkansas’ punt coverage did not fare much better. Auburn totaled 95 yards on three punt returns, led by Chris Davis, who finished the night with two returns for 84 yards and a long of 48.
