Chad Morris
– Morris said the team came out very lethargic today. You can tell school has started and their schedules have changed. The energy level wasn't near where it needed to be. He said they got some decent work in, but is disappointed. Morris said he expects them to respond.
– Morris said he walked off the field on Saturday thinking Arkansas had a so-so day. There were some things he liked better after watching film. Austin Capps keeps coming along, and is progressing very well.
– Jeremy Patton went through the first 3-4 periods of practice then was sent to do some conditioning. Dalton Wagner was back at practice. He was riding a bike with several other players during the portion of practice open to the media.
– Connor Limpert was 2-for-2 in some live situations today. I overheard special teams coach Tanner Burns say Limpert is 15 for his last 15 on field goals inside 40 yards in practice. Saturday, Blake Johnson and Reid Bauer punted as well as Morris has seen from them.
– Randy Ramsey (yellow jersey/hamstring) was going through some conditioning work today. Morris hopes to have him in green tomorrow, but if not then Friday.
– De'Vion Warren is electric in the kick return game. Morris is excited to see him in a true live setting. Jared Cornelius, Mike Woods, Britto Tutt are also guys working back there.
– Gary Cross is nursing a tight hamstring. It happened before the scrimmage last week. La'Michael Pettway, Tobias Enlow, Jordan Jones, Jonathan Nance had good camps. Nance is emerging, and Cornelius is the veteran there. Tyson Morris has silently gotten better and has made a number of plays. Going into the first game, Morris will narrow down how many receivers he'll play. Ideally, he'd like to have about 7 guys.
– The running backs were OK today, but nothing great. The backs picked it up toward the end of the day. You can just tell their schedule has changed.
– Linebacker Andrew Parker has tightness in his hamstring, and Grayson Gunter has a sprained ankle. Gunter's injury happened during the scrimmage. Morris also noted he's had a good fall.
