Arkansas State University was scheduled to play the University of Central Arkansas today.
Instead, the Red Wolves and Bears will play Oct. 10 after ASU announced Tuesday that it was unable to “field a safe number of players among a depleted position group.” Coming into the season, this was one of the biggest question marks tor the Red Wolves.
What happens when a team can’t field enough linemen? Or linebackers? Or quarterbacks? Or defensive backs?
Postponements and cancellations happen.
In Arkansas State’s case, the Red Wolves had 15 players on its depth chart “unavailable” for their game against Kansas State a week ago, but were still able to play.
