Offensive adjustments help push Red Wolves

JONESBORO -- Arkansas State Coach Butch Jones hasn't shied away from making mid-game adjustments.

Yes, his hand was forced in a Week 1 victory over Central Arkansas when James Blackman's helmet popped off in the third quarter and Jones had no option but to send Layne Hatcher into the game at quarterback. But Jones then had the option to re-insert his starter and stuck with Hatcher after seeing his backup ignite the Red Wolves' offense.

In Saturday night's 55-50 loss to Memphis, Jones again flipped quarterbacks in the third quarter.

Yet it was a scheme change he made at halftime that jump-started the Red Wolves this time.
