JONESBORO -- Blake Anderson said he understands the big picture benefits of playing midweek games throughout each football season.
His Arkansas State team played one Sun Belt Conference game on Wednesday earlier this season -- a 27-26 victory over Georgia Southern on Oct. 5 -- and over the next few weeks will twice play on Thursday in games moved from Saturday so they can be televised on one of ESPN's networks.
"The opportunity to be on national television, and get those eyes on your program is still huge," Anderson said Monday.
But Anderson admitted it disrupts any semblance of normalcy and adds a degree of difficulty to preparation.
