JONESBORO -- Layne Hatcher had but two seconds in the pocket. He couldn't even step up before Appalachian State linebacker Nick Hampton was in his lap
The next play was no better, with Mountaineer linebacker Tyler Bird flying through Hatcher's line.
Two snaps, two sacks and a third straight drive was quickly put to bed.
Arkansas State turned its worst offensive showing of the season, mustering a meager 199 yards as the Red Wolves dropped their eighth consecutive game Saturday afternoon in a 48-14 loss to Appalachian State at Centennial Bank Stadium. Layne Hatcher completed 17 of 30 passes for only 137 yards and tossed 3 interceptions, two of which Mountaineer cornerback Steven Jones turned into pick-sixes.
