Arkansas snapped its six-game losing streak to Auburn in convincing fashion.

The Razorbacks walloped the Tigers, 41-27, at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday afternoon. It sent Auburn to its fourth straight loss and dropped Bryan Harsin’s team to 3-5 on the year and just 1-4 in SEC play. Arkansas physically handled Auburn, rushing for nearly 300 yards and putting 40-plus points on the Tigers on their home turf.

After the game, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman, quarterback KJ Jefferson, running back Raheim Sanders, linebacker Bumper Pool and defensive back Simeon Blair met with the media to discuss the double-digit win. Here’s a look at everything they had to say:

Sam Pittman, head coach

Opening Statement…

“It’s hard to win. It doesn’t matter where you go, it’s hard to win on the road, especially with quality teams, and obviously, Auburn in the SEC. Auburn fought until the finish and scored right there at the end of the game. I was really proud of our kids and how they competed, especially proud of winning the third quarter. That is something we haven’t done. We won it 14 to nothing. We were in control of the football game, except for the last two minutes. We had a lot of good individual performances. But, I am really proud of our football team. I thought our defense got more stops than they had in the past. Our offense finally got going. We were able to have a comfortable win.”

On QB KJ Jefferson …

“He just extends plays when there is no way that he can. He is just so big that they can’t get him down. That was a big, big play in the game. I am really proud of him. He has taken over the leadership of the team more-and-more each week. He had a heck of a game.”

On winning the third quarter …

“Our defense stepped up. Got them in manageable yards. Coming out of the third quarter, they had a couple of third downs that we would get off the field. We got a stop and the offense went right down and scored. We got another one and the offense went right down and scored. We had made a big emphasis on that in practice. I don’t know if that helps us or not, but we certainly think it does. We just hadn’t won the third quarter. We challenged them (the defense) at halftime. That’s what has to happen, and fortunately, that happened.”

On the team’s chemistry in the second half …

“Our guys are in great shape up front and play well together. Once they figured out exactly what guys were doing against them. We kind of went back to our bread and butter. Inside-outside zone and ran a little counter against them. We went with what we do and our backs got lathered up a bit. Got a few more tackles.”

On RB Raheim Sanders getting more action in the second half …

“Simply because we wanted to play all three guys. AJ (Green) to me is a really good running back. It was just a rotation deal.”

On the program’s first win against Auburn in the last seven games of the series …

“It means everything. Auburn is a good football program. To beat Auburn, they are Auburn. Last time we beat them was in 2015 in overtime – my last year at Arkansas. I know they haven’t won as many games they have in the past. They play teams close and had some really good games with some good football programs. To come in here (and get a road win), it means a lot. Now, we have beaten every (SEC) West team since I’ve been here besides Bama.”

Simeon Blair, DB

On RB Raheim “Rocket” Sanders …

“He is fast. Right before this interview started, we were talking about his 174 yards, which is crazy just on 16 carries. So, he is doing a great job.”

On the team’s third-quarter performance …

“We were talking about the third quarter, emphasizing the third quarter and everyone took it to heart when we came out. We knew what they (Auburn) were doing. We did well with it. We kind of let a few points slip in the first half, but we came back out firing – coming out hot, blocking the field goal and the offense going down scoring just exactly what we needed to do.”

On the bye week and players returning …

“It helps a lot, especially for DBs. We had a lot of people back from injury. We went out and had a great week of practice this week. It was fun each and every day, so we really carried that over to the game. We had a lot of fun in this game. I feel like that led to our confidence.”

Bumper Pool, LB

On beating Auburn in Jordan-Hare Stadium after a loss two years ago …

“I remember being in here two years ago and just being absolutely shattered. Whenever you are in that moment, you don’t think that you have another opportunity. But, to be able to come back and get the win how we did – a team where everyone had to play their role perfectly – I just love this team.”

On the Mississippi State loss and winning back-to-back road games …

“The Mississippi State game was like a perfect storm. Obviously, there will be some overreactions and whatnot if you don’t play well. We knew that if we stayed consistent and we played well, it would lead to this point. We just let one slip from us, but coming back after two road wins is very, very big.”

KJ Jefferson, QB

On Arkansas’ mindset during the rushing game …

“Just being able to know that we can establish the run. We kind of got away from it in the first half and went to throwing the ball. We just wanted to get back to the basics and knowing we can win the game by running the ball and establishing a run game.”

On his chemistry with WR Matt Landers …

“Just being able to understand Matt and try to get him in a rhythm early. Get his confidence up, because he is extremely hard on himself. Being able to get him in a rhythm early and let him get a feel for the game. Then, I know I can go to Matt in any situation.”

On Raheim “Rocket” Sanders’ 76-yard touchdown …

“It comes just from practicing. We practiced those situations, just being backed up and coming out. Just trying to establish the run game as well and knowing that nothing can hurt us. No penalties back there, none of that. We just put our best foot forward and Rocket just trusted himself and made a great run.”

Raheim Sanders, RB

On 1,000 yards in eight games …

“Definitely that was the goal for me. Shout out to our offensive line, the receivers, with the blocking outside, and our quarterback as well. It felt good. Definitely shout out to God, I have more goals to go and achieve.”

On the second half …

“Just before we went out there, we talked to each other and just had that confidence. I feel like this win right here is going to give us a lot of confidence for the next game.”

On the backed-up play …

“What’s so crazy is that play happened a lot against our defense, when we practiced it and going against them. I just feel like this game, I was very patient, waiting on the catch from KJ (Jefferson), catching the ball and just reading the hole right. Before, Coach asked me about running it in the outside zone. I was like ‘yes, I feel like that inside goal is going to hit.’ With me hitting it, reading it and striking it up, it was pretty good.”
