[5] He finished the season having completed 50-of-76 passing attempts for 717 yards and three touchdowns. [3] In 2022, Morris competed with Sam Jackson and Max Duggan for the starting quarterback role. [8] He won the job and started in the first game of the season, a win over Colorado, but was injured in the game and missed significant time. [2] By the time he recovered, he was backup to Duggan and played little for the rest of the season, finishing the season having completed 18-of-27 pass attempts for 145 and one score as the Horned Frogs went on to be the runner-up in the national championship.
