Nick Noce and the terrific trio of tailbacks for ASU lead the Indian offense that currently is ranked the top in the SBC and is tied for 43rd nationally in total offense, at 403.4 yards per game. While tailbacks Shermar Bracey and Chris Easley paced ASU to 175 yards rushing against Louisiana-Monroe two weeks ago, the question surrounding SBC leading rusher Antonio Warren?s health is still the most asked heading into Thursday?s showdown.
?I don?t know about Antonio?s participation this Thursday,? said Roberts. ?I wish I could tell you guys something because I would feel a whole lot better if I knew. He?s out doing some drills, but has not participated in practice to this point, and I can?t tell you if he?ll be ready or not. I can tell you that, in his absence, we feel good about the performances of Shermar Bracey and Chris Easley and also Chris James. He?s had a great week, and he may figure into the running back situation as well.?
