ASU 'D' lacking third-down stops

Arkansas State University knew what was coming against Coastal Carolina.

On nearly all 17 third downs the Chanticleers faced in a 52-23 win a week ago, the Red Wolves knew where the ball was going but still couldn't get off the field on 10 of those downs.

"We knew what was going to happen, we just didn't stop it," sophomore cornerback Samy Johnson said. "Going into the week our coaches told us how good they were on third down and what they wanted on third downs. I guess just as a team we weren't focused well enough, and we didn't execute well enough to do our assignments.
