For linebackers, depth concerns a thing of the past
( Walt Beazley, Arkansas Razorbacks )Arkansas linebacker Bumper Pool is shown during practice Monday, Aug. 9, 2021, in Fayetteville.FAYETTEVILLE — Bumper Pool had to come out of the game during the University of Arkansas’ 21-14 upset of Mississippi State early last season.
He didn’t want to, but his broken ribs forced the issue.
“He’s a really tough kid,” linebackers coach Michael Scherer said. “There were times last year when I kind of had to pull him back a little bit, because … he had busted ribs. He missed a game because we had to hold him back because he was banged up so much.”
The missed game wasn’t right after the rib incident.
