THE PRINCIPALS: Playing its fi rst game since de-fea ng Big 12 foe Kansas State on Sept. 12, the Red Wolves are receiving votes in both the Asso-ciated Press Top 25 and Coaches polls for the fi rst me since the end of the 2012 season. The Red

Wolves were originally slated to host UCA in its home opener on Sept. 19, but the game was post-poned and rescheduled for Oct. 10 a er A-State announced it was unable to assemble a two-deep depth chart at one specifi c posi on group due to player unavailability. A-State most recently knocked off Kansas State 35-31 in Manha an, Kan., for its fi rst win over a Power 5 conference op-ponent since 2008. Tulsa remains on the road for its second game a er falling 16-7 at then-ranked No. 11 Oklahoma State this past Saturday.

HEAD COACH BLAKE ANDERSON: Blake An-derson, a 19-year coaching veteran at the NCAA FBS level who also coached in an NJCAA Na onal Championship game, was named the Red Wolves’ 30th all- me head coach on Dec. 19, 2013. An-derson led the Red Wolves to Sun Belt Conference championships in 2015 and 2016, as well as six consecu ve winning seasons and six bowl-game appearances (2019 and 2017 Camellia Bowl, 2018 Arizona Bowl, 2016 Cure Bowl, 2015 New Orleans Bowl, 2014 GoDaddy Bowl) during his fi rst six years leading the program. Under his direc on, the Red Wolves have set 12 new single-season records, including average yards total off ense (494.8 ypg in 2017), total off ense (6,174 yards in 2014) and points scored (520 in 2015). Following the 2019 season, Anderson received the Capital One Or-ange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award and was named the Grant Teaff Coach of the Year, presented annu-ally by the Fellowship of Chris an Athletes.

FAST START: Out of 30 all- me head coaches at Ar-kansas State, Blake Anderson became one of just four to win at least seven games in his fi rst season (2014) at the school. The other head coaches to win at least seven games in their fi rst season as head coach at A-State were Bryan Harsin (2013), Gus Malzahn (2012) and Hugh Freeze (2011).

SEVEN YEARS RUNNING: Blake Anderson is the only head coach in Arkansas State history to win 48 or more games over his fi rst seven years at the school. Addi onally, he is one of just three head coaches at A-State to ever direct the program to at least 48 wins in 78 or fewer games -- Forrest England won 49 games over the same span tween 1946-53 and Bennie Ellender won 52 mes over his 76 games total games between 1963-70.

DOUBLE DIGITS: Thirty-eight (38) of the Red Wolves’ 48 wins under head coach Blake Ander-son have come by 10 or more points. At the same me fi ve of their 10 single-digit victories under

Anderson have been posted over the Red Wolves’ last seven ou ngs da ng back to last season. Last season, A-State collected the program’s most sin-gle-digit wins (5) in one year since the 1982 sea-son when it also had fi ve. Arkansas State has out-scored its opponents 2,002-1,001 in the 48 wins under Anderson for a 20.9-point average scoring diff erence.

CLIMBING THE LADDER: Blake Anderson has led

the Red Wolves to a pair of Sun Belt tles and col-lected 36 league wins along the way, which are the second most ever by any of the conference’s all- me head coaches.

The Red Wolves were originally slated to play a home game against Howard on Sept. 12 and a road game at Michigan on Sept. 19 before the two contests were canceled. A-State’s original sched-ule called for it to alternate road and home games throughout the regular season for the fi rst me in school history.

UCA GAME POSTPONED UNTIL OCT. 10: Arkansas State announced last week that its game against UCA, originally scheduled for Sept. 19, was re-scheduled for Oct. 10 due to being unable to as-semble a full two-deep depth chart at one specifi c posi on group. The Red Wolves and Bears last played each other in 2016.

THE ARKANSAS STATE-TULSA SERIES: Arkan-sas State is set to play Tulsa for the sixth me in school history, holding a 3-2 record against the Golden Hurricane. The series dates back to 1978 and most recently saw the Red Wolves claim a 29-20 road win in 2018. This year’s game completes a two game home-and-home series between A-State and Tulsa.A-STATE/TULSA SERIESS. 15, 2018: at Tulsa (W, 29-20)

GAME 1Sept. 5, 2020 | Liberty Bowl: 4,537 | Memphis 37, A-State 24

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (9/5/20) – A – In the 2020 season opener, Arkansas State dropped a tough 37-24 decision at Memphis at Liberty Bowl Memorial Sta-dium. A one-score contest through two and a half quarters, Memphis (1-0) scored twice in the third to pull away for a three-score lead, although A-State (0-1) made a late push to cut it to 13 with under fi ve minutes to go. “We had a few opportuni es to make it interes ng and just missed those really good chances – we had an opportunity to e it up and we let them off the hook a couple of mes,” head coach Blake Anderson said. “We really did not tackle well at all and have to do a be er job of wrapping up. There were some miscommunica ons defensively, which we thought could be a concern with as many new bodies as we have there. Off ensively, we didn’t match up great against how big they were up front.” The Red Wolves tallied 424 yards on off ense, with 299 coming in the passing game in a combined performance from Logan Bonner (14-of-23, 133 yards and one touchdown) and Layne Hatcher (13-of-20, 166 yards). Dahu Green hauled in fi ve passes for a career-high 99 yards to lead A-State receivers. Jamal Jones led all A-State rushers with 64 yards on 15 carries. Lincoln Pare also racked up 33 yards on just fi ve carries in his collegiate debut. Memphis racked up 502 yards of total off ense, including 275 through the air from Brady White, who completed 26 of 36 passes and tossed four touchdowns. Rodrigues Clark was the game’s leading rusher, churning out 105 yards on 20 carries with a score. Defensively, A-State was led by Jarius Reimonenq, who posted a ca-reer-best night with 11 tackles (2 for loss). The A-State defense also record-

ed at least 5.0 tackles for loss for the 49th me over the last 56 games. Memphis was led by Quindell Johnson’s eight tackles, while Xavier Cullens and Sylvonta Oliver each grabbed an intercep on. In the game’s opening possession, Bonner led the Red Wolves on a 12-play, 75-yard drive that set up a one-yard score by Ryan Graham. The Tigers then responded with a 12-play drive on their fi rst possession, with White fi nding Sean Dykes from 12 yards out. Dykes was the game’s top receiver, hauling in 10 passes for 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the night. A-State then took a 14-7 lead late in the fi rst, when Isaiah Azubuike scored his fi rst career touchdown on a one-yard score to cap off an 84-yard drive. Memphis evened things up on the ensuing drive when Clark scam-pered 14 yards for the score. The Tigers scored again with 24 seconds le in the fi rst half when White connected with Calvin Aus n for a nine-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone. That play capped off a nine-play, 80-yard drive that took under two minutes to set up the go-ahead score and gave Memphis a 21-14 hal ime lead. On the third play of the second half, Detravion Green picked off a White pass to give A-State prime fi eld posi on inside the Memphis 30. That set up a 28-yard fi eld goal by Blake Grupe to cut the defi cit to 21-17 with 11:05 le in the third. Memphis then took advantage of a short fi eld on an A-State onside kick a empt, with White tossing an eight-yard strike to Damonte Coxie to make it 27-17. On A-State’s next possession, the Tigers recovered a fumble near midfi eld and scored six plays later when White found Dykes for a seven-yard score to make it a 34-17 Memphis advantage going into the fourth quarter. The Tigers added three more to open the fourth with a 26-yard fi eld goal by Riley Pa erson to make it 37-17 with 11:43 to go. A-State broke the scoring drought with a 12-play, 84-yard drive capped off by a one-yard strike from Bonner to TW Ayers with 7:42 to go to make it 37-24. That score was the fi rst of Ayers’ career, while also being the fi rst catch of his career. “I felt like we could’ve made it a game in the second half, there was just no momentum going our way and they controlled the clock and the line of scrimmage,” Anderson said. “I’d have liked to see us score right there at the end and put the onside team out there and see what happens. This week is going to be big for us. We have to get be er. I thought we played hard, you just didn’t see that huge burst we’ve seen in the past. Memphis is a good team and they hardly made any mistakes all night.”

GAME 2Sept. 12, 2020 | Snyder Stadium: 11,041 | A-State 35, Kansas State 31

MANHATTAN, Kan. (9/12/20) – In front of a na onal broadcast audience, Arkansas State delivered a statement win at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, defea ng Kansas State 35-31 behind a career-high three touchdown grabs by Jonathan Adams, Jr. A-State (1-1) held the Wildcats (0-1) to just 91 yards on the ground and com-mi ed just four penal es in the contest. The Red Wolves also overcame a pair of turnovers and held K-State to 1 of 11 on third down in the victory, which was the program’s fi rst over a Power 5 conference foe since defea ng Texas A&M 18-14 in College Sta on in 2008 – the second for A-State since moving to FBS status in 1992. “It was fun, but not surprising,” head coach Blake Anderson said. “We believed all week we could win this game. We didn’t play great and s ll won it, they just kept believing and kept playing. I thought we were compe ve in every phase – not per-fect, but compe ve. Guys stepped up all over our defense and made plays today.” Logan Bonner and Layne Hatcher split quarterbacking du es again for the Scar-let and Black, with both tossing a pair of scores. Bonner completed 17 of 28 passes for 204 yards, while Hatcher was 6-of-8 for 61 yards, but came through in the clutch by tossing the game-winner to Adams with 38 seconds to go. Adams caught eight passes for 98 yards, while Rashauud Paul racked up 77 yards on four catches. Jamal Jones led all rushers with a career-high 95 yards on just 16 carries for a 5.9-yard average. Lincoln Pare was right behind him with 65 yards on four carries with a long of 58. Defensively, Elery Alexander and Jaden Harris tallied nine tackles apiece, while Fred Hervey and TW Ayers each notched a sack. For Kansas State, Skylar Thompson completed 17 of 29 passes for 259 yards and two scores. Chabas n Taylor led the Wildcats with 98 yards on four grabs. The Wildcats struck fi rst on their opening drive a er an A-State three-and-out, with Thompson fi nding Phillip Brooks for a 17-yard strike. A-State responded with a scoring drive on the next possession when Bonner connected with Adams from two yards out to even it up at 7-all with under 10 minutes le in the fi rst. Kansas State then scored 14 unanswered on a pair of seven-play drives. A er

an intercep on by Will Jones II on the A-State 45 and a strong goal-line defense by the Red Wolves, Deuce Vaughn plunged the ball over the goal line for a three-yard score with 13:29 to go in the half. Thompson then tossed his second touchdown pass of the day, connec ng with Briley Moore for a seven-yard score to cap off a 92-yard drive. A-State cut the defi cit with the fi nal score of the fi rst half at the 6:50 mark when Jeff Foreman fi red a strike on a double-pass play to Paul, who waltzed into the endzone untouched for a 48-yard score. K-State held a 21-14 lead at the break. A er a 54-yard Kansas State punt placed the Red Wolves on their own 23 with under fi ve minutes le in the third, Hatcher piloted the A-State off ense on a 77-yard drive that was highlighted by a tremendous 58-yard dash by Pare that put the Scarlet and Black inside the red zone at the K-State 14. A one-yard rush and then fi ve-yard off side penalty moved the Red Wolves to the Kansas State 8-yard mark, where Hatcher then found Giles Amos on a short pass up the middle to e up the contest at 21. A Kansas State drive ended on a missed 47-yard fi eld goal, handing possession over to the Red Wolves on their own 29 with 14:49 to go. With a surgeon’s preci-sion, Bonner led the A-State off ense on a remarkable drive. Facing a 4th-and-5 on the Kansas State 34, Ryan Hanson fi red a deep pass to Adams that fell incomplete, but a pass interference call gave the Red Wolves a fresh set of downs on the 22. On the next play, A-State dug into its back of tricks for a double-reverse pass from Paul to Bonner, who skied for the catch at the 5. Two plays later, Bonner found Adams for a one-handed grab to put A-State ahead 28-21 with 11:49 le . The Wildcats evened things up at 28-all on the next drive, capping off a 10-play, 55-yard drive that ate up over fi ve minutes of game me with a 5-yard rush by Harry Tro er with 6:35 remaining. Kansas State then moved ahead by three when Blake Lynch drilled a 35-yard fi eld goal with 2:31 to go a er a three-and-out by the Red Wolves. Hatcher then tro ed onto the fi eld with A-State needing three to e and a touchdown for the lead. The Li le Rock na ve led the off ense on a well-executed two-minute drill that started off with three rushes by Jones for 32 yards, followed by a 21-yard pass to Brandon Bowling that put the Red Wolves at the 12 with a fresh set of downs. Two plays later, a er Hatcher fell on a loose ball for a fi ve-yard loss, it was Ad-ams who found pay dirt for the third me in the ballgame, giving the Red Wolves a 35-31 lead with 38 seconds le .The Wildcats took over on their own 37, looking to escape with the win, but that eff ort would be stopped short by the Red Wolves defense just past the 50, handing A-State its fi rst victory over a Power 5 opponent since 2008.
