MONTGOMERY, Ala. (12/21/19) – Despite a persistent downpour for nearly the entire game, the Arkansas State football team put out record numbers through the air and came up with key defensive plays late to hold off Florida International, 34-26, on Saturday night in the 2019 Camellia Bowl.
The Red Wolves (8-5) led for the entire night and braved the rain while Layne Hatcher passed for a Camellia Bowl-record 393 yards and four touchdowns on 27-of-51 passing. With the win over the Panthers (6-7), A-State reaches eight victories for the second year in a row.
