Defensive changes aplenty for Red Wolves under Jones

Coach Butch Jones closed Arkansas State University's fifth spring practice with a red-zone scrimmage pitting the Red Wolves' units against one another, and a clear winner emerged.

"Defensively, I thought this was the best day that we've had in terms of overall consistency," Jones said. "There was no let up. I think we learned some things offensively. We're not as good as everybody says we are."

ASU's final practice before spring break delivered an early win for a Red Wolves defense undergoing a needed transformation this offseason. Nine starters return in 2021 to a defense that allowed 37.
