Morris backs OT changes

HARRISON -- University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris has yet to be involved in an overtime game during his brief tenure with the Razorbacks, but he's obviously studied up on the program's heavy involvement in some of the longest games in college football history.

Morris was asked Tuesday night prior to his speaking appearance at the Harrison Area Razorback Club what he thought of the recently approved tweak to the administration of overtimes from the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel.

The change will mandate running alternate two-point plays starting with the fifth overtime rather than proceeding with the old rule of starting at the 25-yard line for both teams.
