JONESBORO -- After two consecutive frustrating losses, Arkansas State University got back on track Saturday night with a 38-14 victory over Texas State at Centennial Bank Stadium.
The Red Wolves led 17-14 at halftime before orchestrating a big third quarter to pull away. ASU blocked a punt, sophomore running back Marcel Murray rushed for a pair of touchdowns, sophomore cornerback Nathan Page picked off Texas State quarterback Tyler Vitt twice, and ASU's defense allowed just 3 yards of offense in the third quarter.
The sequence gave the Red Wolves (4-4, 2-2 Sun Belt) a 31-14 lead and allowed for a stress-free fourth quarter.
