FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas football coaches have been full of praise for the running backs throughout preseason practice, but that changed Saturday.
"I've bragged on these running backs pretty much all camp," Coach Chad Morris said after the Razorbacks' second scrimmage. "They've challenged each other, they've pushed each other.
"I think I bragged on them enough that they might have started feeling a little bit better about themselves than we probably should at this point in camp."
Morris said running backs coach Jeff Traylor got on to his charges after a sluggish start.
"I know coach Traylor and the running backs had to have a little heart-to-heart and kind of get things back right on the sideline and get their focus back right," Morris said.
