TUCSON , Ariz. (12/26/18) – The Arkansas State football team arrived in Tucson, Ariz., yesterday evening to an enthusiastic welcome from the Arizona Bowl and continued its on-field prep Wednesday for its eighth consecutive bowl game set for Saturday at 12:15 p.m. (CT).
The Arizona Bowl literally rolled out the red carpet for the Red Wolves, who were greeted by a mariachi band playing Christmas music and a crowd of fans, bowl officials and media outlets as they exited the plane.
“Any time you get an opportunity to play another game, you have to be excited about that and also an opportunity to come to a place for the first time,” said A-State head coach Blake Anderson as the Red Wolves are set to play a game in the state of Arizona for the first time in program history.
