Red Wolves, Jones search for positives

Thirteen seconds into the fourth quarter, Layne Hatcher trotted out of the Arkansas State huddle, taking his place on the left hashmark, five yards behind the center.

It was an innocuous moment. The Red Wolves trailed Georgia Southern 52-19, and despite some of their second-half heroics already this season, there was no reason to think ASU's offense could haul the visitors out of the great depths in which their defense had buried them.

Hatcher did what he could, taking ASU 75 yards in seven plays for its first touchdown since late in the second quarter. Then he backed it up with another score, needing only 63 seconds to go 69 yards.
