Perhaps it’s time to truly adopt a kind of two-QB system where the one quarterback replaces the other when his hand grows cold.

The positive we as Red Wolves fans can take from a 59-33 humiliation to Georgia Southern is that we can now relax and realize that what we’re watching is a program in progress. It’s not going to be pleasant – evolution is often painful.
I invite you to join me in moving past this True Crime critique of the Arkansas State Red Wolves and leap forward into what can be salvaged after a 1-3 start to the season.
It was Sun Belt Entropy at its entropiest. Combined with Louisiana’s win over Georgia Southern, the much maligned Sun Belt West got an early jump on the East, a condition that may not last but so what? This is why we love the damn Sun Belt; chaos. Embrace it.
Apart from the second half of the UCA game, I can’t remember a time when this team has enjoyed a significant amount of time with a lead. The Red Wolves play a brand of football that is terribly exhausting to watch.
“OR” gets the boot in Week 4, with James Blackman listed as the undisputed starter, with Coach Butch Jones citing his downfield ability and leadership as the contributing factors.
Either Hatcher or Blackman need to establish that they run the huddle, and nether can wait until the second half to make the declaration.
It didn’t help that the Washington coaching staff was coaching for their jobs. But it was also clear that the Red Wolves weren’t going to help themselves.
After three weeks, the Red Wolves two-deep is as you might expect – a mixture of truth and misdirection.
The Red Wolves are, after a mere two weeks, the nation’s leading pass offense, racking up 920 yard via the air while bombing the end zone 9 times. A-State’s Corey Rucker is second in the nation with 4 TD grabs, and he’s richly accompanied by exceptional talent in Jeff Foreman, Te’Vailance Hunt and about half-a-dozen other guys who can step in and make big plays.
