JONESBORO -- In August, Coach Blake Anderson had a blueprint for how the first few weeks of a season that started with high expectations would play out for Arkansas State.
The Red Wolves would be backed by a defense returning nine full-time starters and a handful of contributors that led the FBS last season in interceptions and defensive touchdowns.
For a variety of reasons, Anderson's plans went awry, as ASU limped to an 0-4 start. Anderson wondered whether he put too much pressure on his defense.
"I put probably too much pressure on all these guys," Anderson said Monday.
