Wolves' defense rules day

JONESBORO -- For the first 41 minutes of Saturday's spring game, Arkansas State University couldn't find the end zone.

Blake Grupe's pair of field goals represented the only points of the first half, and the offenses led by quarterbacks Layne Hatcher and Wyatt Begeal opened the second half with four consecutive three-and-outs.

The crowd at Centennial Bank Stadium finally witnessed a touchdown when Begeal found receiver Seth Hayes for a 35-yard score at the 4:21 mark of the third quarter.

Hatcher responded with touchdown passes to receivers Antonio Ruiz and Te'Vailance Hunt on back-to-back possessions, and suddenly the ASU offensive players were awake.
