Arkansas State vs. South Alabama: Betting odds, point spread and t info
“Pretty much anything that could go wrong did go wrong early in that game”, Red Wolves head coach Blake Anderson said.
Just over a minute later, Justin Clifton would pick off Clements, and return it 37 yards for a touchdown, giving the Red Wolves the 49-31 victory.
Arkansas State holds a 3-0 edge all-time against South Alabama including last season’s 45-10 win in Jonesboro. But the fourth-quarter implosion means the Jaguars might continue to be a middle-of-the-pack team in this league. The over is 5-0 in Jaguars last 5 games on fieldturf and the under is 3-0-1 in Jaguars last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record while the Jaguars are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
On South Alabama’s next offensive play, Cody Brown intercepted Cody Clements’ pass under pressure and Johnston White capped a 43-yard drive with a short touchdown run to give Arkansas State its first lead since early in the second quarter. He connected with Josh Magee on a 76-yard touchdown and also completed passes of 42 yards to Marvin Shinn and 40 yards to Danny Woodson.
The over is 19-7 in Arkansas State’s last 26 conference games and the Red Wolves will face fellow Sun Belt foe South Alabama tonight at 8:00PM ET. Knighten would then connect with J.D. McKissic for the two-point conversion, pulling the Red Wolves within three points with 12:33 remaining in the game. After winning Tuesday to move to 2-0 in the Sun Belt, the Red Wolves look to be on track for their fifth straight bowl berth.
