JONESBORO -- For weeks, Arkansas State University's defense has been searching for answers. Slowly but surely, Coach Blake Anderson and defensive coordinator David Duggan believes the unit is finding them.
In the aftermath of a 52-38 loss at Georgia State on Oct. 5 -- when the Red Wolves surrendered 722 yards and 39 first downs -- ASU had to go back to the drawing board. Having a bye the next week allowed for more time to assess the damage and find solutions.
Since then, ASU's defense has experienced a significant scheme change and shifted position coaches. The Red Wolves have ditched their four-man front in favor of three down linemen, while adding a sixth defensive back.
