New Kids on the Block: Green is at the helm of Arkansas's offense

A new era for the Razorbacks

With the departure of long-time head coach Bret Bielema, the Arkansas Razorbacks are entering a new era under the leadership of Chad Morris.

Morris, who spent the last three seasons as the head coach at SMU, is known for his innovative offensive schemes.

He will be tasked with turning around an Arkansas offense that ranked near the bottom of the SEC in several statistical categories last season.

Enter Connor Green

One of the key players in Morris's offensive scheme will be junior quarterback Connor Green.

Green, who started the final five games of the 2017 season, showed flashes of brilliance.

He threw for 1,548 yards and 14 touchdowns in those five games.

Green's strengths

Green has a strong arm and is able to make all the throws necessary in Morris's offense.

He is also a good runner, which will make him a threat in the read-option game.

Green is a hard worker and is eager to learn.

Green's challenges

Green is still relatively inexperienced.

He will need to improve his decision-making and consistency.

He will also need to learn to play within Morris's offensive scheme.

Outlook for 2018

The Arkansas offense is expected to improve significantly under Morris.

Green has the potential to be a very good quarterback in this system.

If he can continue to develop, the Razorbacks could have one of the most potent offenses in the SEC in 2018.
