Trailing 24-3 at halftime to Troy, Arkansas State University interim defensive coordinator Nick Paremski had a simple message for his unit.
"Guys, you doing it your own way is not working," Paremski said. "So try doing it our way."
The defense came out in the third quarter and gave the Red Wolves a chance, shutting Troy out offensively in the third quarter. It wasn't enough, with Troy eventually walking away with a 38-10 win, but it was progress for a defensive unit that has struggled the majority of the season.
"We cut down on the mental errors," Paremski said.
