JONESBORO -- Arkansas State senior linebacker Xavier Woodson-Luster said the key to slowing Georgia Southern's triple-option offense is sound tackling. Defensive back Cody Brown said it's communication on the back end of the defense.
ASU coaches have said both have been an issue at times this season.
But ASU is hoping an extended break following a home loss to Central Arkansas provided plenty of time to ready for what is likely the Red Wolves' most sizable defensive test in the Sun Belt Conference. In their first trip to Centennial Bank Stadium on Wednesday night, the Eagles will bring one of college football's best rushing offenses, which ranks fourth nationally with 317.
