Butch Jones said Arkansas State may carry its quarterback competition through pregame warmups against Memphis and plans separate offensive packages to exploit the contenders' different skill sets.

Jones believes added competitive depth has materially improved Arkansas State's offensive line, although battles for starting and rotational roles were still unresolved entering the opener.

Arkansas State's rebuilt defensive line remains a work in progress despite recent improvement, with only two traveling players from that unit having been in the program last season.

The Red Wolves had not settled the third running-back role, and Jones wants a deep rotation available for an eight-game stretch and a demanding early schedule.
