Laying out Razorbacks’ impact stars for matchup versus Alabama at home

Tim Heitman - USA TODAY Sports

It’s going through some growing pains with Chad Morris in his first year at head coach, but he will get Arkansas football back to be competitive with time. After not reaching what it wants to be its full potential under Bret Bielema, Razorback fans hope that Morris can change the culture. 

He draws a difficult task in facing Nick Saban, this Alabama offense, and a defense that’s improving each week; nevertheless, Morris’ goal is for the Hogs to reach the fourth quarter with it still being a compelling matchup. Although the line on the game is between 33 and 35 points, Saban coined this a “trap game” on Monday and wants nothing but focus all week in practice.
