JONESBORO -- Arkansas State's most recent offensive showing in a 31-13 loss at South Alabama on Saturday was confounding, to say the least.
It's not that the Red Wolves have been some juggernaut. They're averaging 27.5 points per game, putting them right in the middle of the pack at 76th in the nation. ASU's rushing attack is fourth-worst among all FBS teams, averaging 81.5 yards per game, and the Red Wolves have often been trailing, meaning they have little choice but to pass the ball.
But ASU's 224 yards of total offense in Mobile was the low-water mark, even worse than a September trip to Washington in which the Red Wolves were routed 52-3.
