During the regular season, University of Arkansas senior linebackers Hayden Henry, Grant Morgan and Bumper Pool rotated among two spots as the Razorbacks went with three defensive linemen and six defensive backs or four linemen and five defensive backs.

But all three were linebackers on the field together for a significant portion of Arkansas’ 24-10 victory over Penn State in the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday thanks to a new scheme devised by defensive coordinator Barry Odom.
