FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson got a first-hand look at the creative, high tempo Chad Morris offense at SMU this September while watching the Mustangs' 44-21 victory over Arkansas State in Dallas.
Hutchinson was impressed at the time and "pleased" now that Morris has joined the Arkansas Razorbacks as head coach.
"Of course he beat us that day, which I was not too happy with," Hutchinson said. "Clearly he has an exciting team and he's really turned that program around there.
"I like his honesty. He says, 'I'm not that connected to Arkansas but I'm a quick learner.
