The lead up

SDS News: Arkansas coach Chad Morris previews North Texas game on SEC Coaches Teleconference

Arkansas will now turn its focus to North Texas, who visit Fayetteville this Saturday. Coach Chad Morris joined the SEC Coaches’ Teleconference Wednesday to preview North Texas.

On the job of Seth Littrell at North Texas:

Seth and I have gone way back since his time as coordinator at North Carolina. He does a great job of preparing his guys. He built that program from the ground up and he’s done a good job of recruiting… We have some similarities on offense, they will get the ball out of his hands quick.

Does facing North Texas again provide you an advantage?:

I don’t know, other than knowing the personnel… We know their schemes but this is a new team. They are different than they were the year before.
