When the dust settled on the Arkansas Razorbacks’ 52-7 win over the visiting Alabama A&M Bulldogs in Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, the early struggles against the 46-point underdogs may have been smoothed over by some observers. From their vantage point in Arkansas’ northeast corner however, the Arkansas State Red Wolves may see the opportunity of a lifetime coming into this Saturday’s week 2 long-awaited match up in Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium.
Arkansas State won their season opener Saturday in Jonesboro 42-24 over Southeast Missouri. The Red Wolves may be licking their chops after going into week two after seeing their fellow FBS in-state brethren allow the FCS Bulldogs to march down the field for a score on their opening drive while applying pressure defensively to the Razorbacks rebuilt offensive line.
