FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Chad Morris and John Chavis both praised the Razorbacks' defensive effort in a 24-17 loss to No. 7 LSU on Saturday.
Morris was also complementary of safeties Kamren Curl and Santos Ramirez for their physicality in the run game. The duo combined for 15 tackles and Ramirez finished with at least 10 for the fourth time this season. Curl tallied a pass breakup of LSU quarterback Joe Burrow on third-and 6-in the first quarter as well.
The Razorbacks' first-year head coach even provided a rundown of the defense's statistical improvements from 2017 through 10 games in 2018, pointing out the unit's uptick in sacks, tackles for loss and third down efficiency, which sits at 34.
