SAN MARCOS, Texas (12/3/16) – The Arkansas State football team captured the Sun Belt Conference Championship for the fifth time in the last six seasons with a 36-14 victory over Texas State Saturday night at Bobcat Stadium.
With the victory, A-State (7-5, 7-1) became the only team in the nation to win five conference championships over the last six seasons (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016) and has now won 40 of 47 Sun Belt games during that span.
“Five championships in six years is just a testament to all the people that have held this thing together, even before we got here,” A-State head coach Blake Anderson said.
