Plans to enter portal Morris plans to enter the transfer portal, On3 reports.

He completed nearly 63 percent of his passes for 3,774 yards, 31 touchdowns and 12 interceptions and added 242 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He will look to end his season on a high note during bowl season.

He faces a tough matchup versus Army after the bye week next week, but Tulane was a tough matchup on paper and he put up one of his best performances of the season.

He threw for over 400 yards for the third time this season and tossed three touchdowns for the fifth time in seven games. He ranks second in the country in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, only behind Heisman contender Cam Ward. He also showed off his legs Saturday as he scored a 49-yard rushing touchdown and finished the game with a season-high 71 rushing yards. He faces a couple of difficult matchups in his next two games, but he has been too productive to look elsewhere.

He has a tough next three games versus the best team's in the conference, but he should pass the ball enough to remain productive.
