Although the Arkansas Razorbacks (1-0; 0-0 SEC) football team has never faced the Arkansas State Red Wolves (1-0; 0-0 Sun Belt), and it's one of those in-state college football games that has been discussed for far too long, many fans have given this game too much hype. Are we really intrigued to watch the Hog essentially play a road game in Little Rock at War Memorial Stadium against a team that was challenged throughout the game last week against the Southeast Missouri State (SEMO) Redhawks?
While many believe that the Red Wolves had an easy contest against the Redhawks, with the Associated Press asserting that "Arkansas State cruises to 42-24 victory," the Red Wolves were in a serious fight with SEMO each quarter except the second.
