What Chad Morris had to say following Arkansas’ devastating loss to Ole Miss

Arkansas wasn’t forced to punt the ball against Ole Miss until late in the fourth quarter and scored on the first seven possessions of the game against the Rebels, yet, somehow found a way to lose in Little Rock. After giving up a 97-yard drive in the closing seconds of the game, Arkansas fell 37-33, to drop to 1-6 on the season.

The search for a conference win continues for Chad Morris and his Razorbacks after allowing 613 yards of total offense. Credit the Razorbacks for gaining 476 yards in this one, but they couldn’t manufacture yards when it mattered the most.

Injuries to quarterback Ty Storey, running backs Rakeem Boyd and Devwah Whaley certainly didn’t help matters in this one but Morris wasn’t interested in making excuses following the loss.

Here is Morris’ opening comments from his post-game press conference following the loss:
