JONESBORO -- Ball on the left hashmark, a bunch set with three wide receivers to the right and Massachusetts running back Ellis Merriweather behind the tight end on the left.
Butch Jones took his first timeout.
The Minutemen came out in the same formation, and again, Jones asked for time.
They were "Kodak timeouts," Jones explained. A chance to see how Massachusetts would line up with the game in the balance.
Make a stop and all Arkansas State would only need an onside kick recovery to secure the win. A conversion by the visitors and things would almost certainly be headed to overtime.
