JONESBORO -- The disruption of one of the nation's top offenses statistically began on a first-quarter play in Las Cruces, N.M.
It was Oct. 28 and Arkansas State University had just come off a 47-3 drubbing of Louisiana-Lafayette. But the Red Wolves' offense, which ranked 12th with 41 points per game, did not score easily against New Mexico State.
On first and 10 at the ASU 29, freshman center Jacob Still hunched, gripped the football and looked up at the Aggies' 310-pound defensive tackle Myles Vigne, who was lined up across Still's right shoulder.
Still knew it was a run play and that he and sophomore right guard Troy Elliott would need to drive Vigne backward, clearing a hole for senior running back Johnston White to run through.
