Maybe in retrospect it wasn't surprising the Red Wolves managed to blow a 35-10 second-quarter lead Saturday afternoon at Centennial Bank Stadium against Georgia Southern, only to hang on to win 38-33 thanks to a dramatic defensive fourth-down stop just inches short of the marker in the final minute.
"Another close one," said ASU Coach Blake Anderson, whose Red Wolves are 4-1 this season in games decided by a touchdown or less.
The Red Wolves' victory on senior day marked the team's fourth consecutive victory and their ninth consecutive in the month of November.
ASU (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt) may not be heading to the Sun Belt Championship Game next month, but it's all but assured itself of a ninth consecutive bowl trip.
