Red Wolves travel to Kibbie Dome down Idaho in Sun Belt play

Moscow, Idaho

Arkansas State was looking to build momentum and keep rolling and roll they did. After a fairly uneventful first quarter, already holding a 7-3 lead behind a A. Henry TD pass the Red Wolves got rolling scoring 24 straight points over the next 2 quarters. After taking a 24-3 advantage to the Locker Room the Red Wolves extended that to 31-3. Idaho would bring the score to 31-17 but that's as close as it would get before Arkansas State added a TD to cap off the scoring for a 38-17 victory. Coach Hill had a few words for the press after the win. " I think we're hitting our stride, got to stay focused but I like where we are right now. Got a big game in Jonesboro next week vs UL Monroe, it should be fun for Homecoming."

Arkansas State storms into Jaguars country leaves with Big win!!!

Mobile, Alabama

In the preseason this was supposed to be the premiere showdown in the Sun Belt, but now it was just another stepping stone for the Red Wolves.

Arkansas State dominated the first half taking a 35-7 lead to the locker room following a 4TD pass Half by QB Adam Henry with RB George Smith adding a TD on the ground. Arkansas State wouldn't let up adding 10 more in the third. South Alabama would scrape together 14 in the 2nd half but the final would be a 45-21 decision in favor of Arkansas State. Coach Hill said this of the matchup "We knew going on we should have a good game our gameplan was on point. I will say this let Coach Kennedy have a year or two and that team will compete for Conference championships. We did what we came to do. We'll go back to Jonesboro tonight and get ready for another conference opponent in Georgia State."
