NEW ORLEANS — Arkansas State was down a few key weapons in its first trip to the Sun Belt Conference’s oldest bowl in 10 years Saturday night. It seemed to commit a penalty every other play, too.
Neither were helpful in ASU's bid to cap one of its best seasons with a victory over one of its oldest rivals.
Strong native Kenneth Dixon scored four total touchdowns to pester a team from his home state and Louisiana Tech set a New Orleans Bowl record with 684 yards of offense in a 47-28 victory in front of an announced crowd of 32,487 at the Superdome.
