Plenty of blame to go around for Red Wolves' rushing woes

JONESBORO -- Nobody wants to pin Arkansas State's rushing woes on anybody else.

Everyone -- from linemen to running backs to pass-catchers -- is accepting blame for a ground game that's one of only 15 in the nation averaging fewer than 100 yards per game.

But if ASU is going to find some much-needed offensive balance, it needs to first identify the root of the problem. At least, that's what Coach Butch Jones and Co. are trying to do after putting up 38 yards on 26 carries during last week's 41-34 loss at Tulsa.

"Football is a game of individual matchups, every individual winning their one-on-one battle," Jones said when asked what role the offensive line has played in his team's struggles running the football.
