Finding Arkansas State on a defensive statistic leaderboard last season probably took some scrolling and clicking.
Second-to-last in total defense. Seventh-to-last in scoring defense. And no team among the 130 in the Football Bowl Subdivision allowed more rushing yards per game than the Red Wolves.
But there was a stat where ASU ranked near the top -- and it's one that perhaps explains the others: Kivon Bennett and Joe Ozougwu were both among the top 10 defensive lineman nationally in snaps played, each averaging upward of 60 per game.
At a position where rotational depth can be paramount to success, those exorbitant snap counts decimated the ASU defense late in games.
