ARKANSAS STATE 17, SOUTH ALABAMA 7
JONESBORO -- Instead of up-tempo, Arkansas State slowed down Saturday night.
Thanks to an emerging defense sparked by Chris Humes' 60-yard fumble return for a touchdown and six sacks, the altered strategy worked for the Red Wolves in beating South Alabama 17-7 on Saturday night at Centennial Bank Stadium.
"Any way you can find a way to win," Coach Blake Anderson said. "I don't think it was particularly an attractive win, it was kind of an ugly win."
It was partially directed that way by Anderson and offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner.
