Arkansas State University is headed to the Arizona Bowl.
The school announced Tuesday it will be the Sun Belt Conference's representative in the Arizona Bowl on Dec. 29 at 12:15 p.m. Central at the University of Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz.
"We're excited, man," ASU Coach Blake Anderson said. "It's a new opportunity. Anytime you go to a place for the first time, it is going to be exciting."
The Red Wolves (8-4, 5-3 Sun Belt) will face a representative from the Mountain West Conference in ASU's first appearance in the Arizona Bowl.
"It's going to be a good opponent, regardless of who they send us," said Anderson, who expects the Mountain West to select ASU's opponent from a pool of 3-5 teams.
