Anderson: 'Click' lacking on defense

JONESBORO -- Where did it go wrong?

That's the question Arkansas State University Coach Blake Anderson had to answer Monday after firing defensive coordinator David Duggan and defensive pass game coordinator Ed Pinkham on Friday after ASU's 59-52 win over Georgia State.

Duggan and Pinkham were in just their second seasons on staff, having overseen a defense that finished 124th in total defense in 2019 and currently ranks 70th out of 76 teams this season. Anderson said his decision to move on from Duggan and Pinkham was one he started thinking about late Thursday night and came to the conclusion on early Friday.
