JONESBORO -- The concerns are mounting by the week for the Arkansas State University football team.
Junior cornerback Jerry Jacobs was lost for the season last week with a torn ACL. On Saturday, despite a 41-28 victory in Jonesboro, the Red Wolves' defense showed there's much work to be done after giving up 526 yards of offense to FCS Southern Illinois, which was missing its starting quarterback.
After Monday, add quarterback health and the loss of a key running back to the growing list of issues plaguing ASU (2-2) as the Sun Belt Conference opener against Troy (2-1) approaches.
