JONESBORO -- In its first three games of 2022, Arkansas State's offensive line never went full gangbusters.
But perhaps that was to be expected with all five spots turning over from the end of 2021.
It was a group that was beginning to jell, though, making right tackle Robert Holmes' season-ending injury suffered against Memphis all the more untimely.
Quarterback James Blackman was under constant pressure against Old Dominion, with said stress leading to a pair of critical turnovers. One was an interception that was returned for a touchdown and another was a strip-sack fumble that the Monarchs cashed in five snaps later to go up 26-21 with 6:33 left in the fourth quarter.
