On defense, our DTs playing in the B gaps all night long (drunken recall) caused us to get burned inside. When you have a free center or guard to block Jake Holland, no shite they are going to ru all over you. I bet that against ArkSt that won't be the case due to the style of O they run

I watched the game again last night and one play in particular stuck out to me. I think it was the 4th quarter, but we had a wide DL split and Frost comes up like he's going to blitz, but basically just sits at the LOS. The C snaps it and just totally blows him out of the way for about a 15 yard gain, I think it was. I don't know if that was a mental error on Frost or just a bad call, but there's no way any LB can take on a center at the LOS. They kept showing blitz and then backing out of it. He showed it and didn't blitz and just stayed right where he was and got blown up.

I don't see Arkansas State's offense playing into our weaknesses as much as Wazzou's did. Their defense will not be able to stop our run game as it is pretty dominant and Nick Marshall should play better as seen int he second half

We've got to do a better job of getting a push on short yardage situations. Our OL didn't do anything on that 3rd and 2 in the first half and the 3rd and 1 on the first possession of the second half. There's no reason our OL should not be able to move Wash St's DL on 3rd and short. We have to be able to convert 3rd downs like that for the offense to work. If not, we send our defense right back on the field.
