JONESBORO — A day after a down-to-the-wire finish that cost Arkansas State its chance to win an outright Sun Belt Conference title, Coach Blake Anderson said Louisiana-Lafayette Coach Mark Hudspeth called to apologize for his team’s conduct toward the end of the game.
Anderson, speaking during his weekly news conference Monday, said Hudspeth “apologized for the attitude of his guys,” adding that the Ragin’ Cajuns coach was “embarrassed” for how they handled the final tense moments of their 24-19 victory.
It happened after ASU quarterback Justice Hansen was ruled down near the sideline before he lateraled a ball back to midfield that was picked up and run into the end zone by offensive tackle Joseph Bacchus.
