COACHES Blake Anderson (16-10 in third season at Arkansas State and overall); Jason Candle (1-0 in second season at Toledo and overall)
Arkansas State was playing Toledo on Jan. 4, 2015, trying to cap Blake Anderson's first year as coach with a victory in the GoDaddy Bowl. On the first play, quarterback Fredi Knighten fumbled, Toledo recovered in the end zone and it took all of 10 seconds to start down a path to a 63-44 season-ending loss.
"It can't get much worse," Anderson remembers saying to his coaching staff after that play.
But it didn't get any better for ASU that night or in the rematch nine months later.
