Southern Miss running back Fletcher has 74 yards on 15 carries for the Golden Eagles. Quarterback Austin Davis is 13-18 for 145 yards with one touchdown. Eddie Hicks leads the Golden Eagle defense with five total tackles.
For the Arkansas State Red Wolves running back Reggie Arnold has 26 yards on five carries and quarterback Corey Leonard has 24 yards on four carries. Leonard is 5-13 with 63 yards. M.D. Jennings leads the defense with 8 total tackles. Ben Owens has 6 total tackles.
Southern Miss is 9 of 10 on third down conversions which has been the key difference between the two teams. ASU has only converted one third down and has yet to make to the Red Zone. The Golden Eagles have controlled the ball for 20:49 minutes. There are 30:00 minutes in one half!
Keys to the second half:
The defense has to stop the Golden Eagles from converting third downs. Especially 3rd and long plays.
ASU has got to move the ball and keep the ball out of the hands of Southern Miss.
Reggie needs to be more productive on the ground, get the pressure of Leonard. If you have a successful running game, you have a better chance of winning games.
ASU is known for playing better defense in the second half. They did not allow A&M to score in the second half early this season. And everybody remembers last year come back against Memphis. Let's see if they can do it again...
