Bumper Pool shares how Arkansas turned season around after losing streak
Published:
Arkansas picked up a big road win at LSU on Saturday night, winning 16-13 in overtime.
It was the 3rd consecutive win for the Razorbacks, as they improved to 7-3 overall and 3-3 in SEC play.
Most impressive about Arkansas’ current winning streak is that it comes on the heels of a 3-game losing streak that the Razorbacks suffered in October.
On Monday, Arkansas senior linebacker Bumper Pool appeared on “SEC This Morning” and spoke about how he and his teammates have been able to bounce back.
“You can call it the darkest moment,” said Pool of the losing streak. “But for us, we lost (to Ole Miss on the last play of the game), and we lost to Auburn. We kind of just gave that game away. Both those teams are really good football teams.
‘But Coach Pittman was just breathing life into us. ‘Hey listen, we’re about to get on a run here, we’re about to get our bye week, and then we’re going to make this back half of the season one to remember.’ I feel like we’ve truly done that, and it’s just been a great rollercoaster and excited to continue this season.”
Pool has been one of the top defensive players in the SEC this season, having recorded 100 tackles, including 7.5 for losses. He had 13 tackles and 2 tackles for loss on Saturday night in the win over LSU.
Pool and the Razorbacks will look to keep their winning streak going with a huge game at Alabama on Saturday.
