JONESBORO, Ark. (9/2/16) – The Arkansas State football team dropped its season opener versus Toledo 31-10 on Friday night in front of 26,182 fans at Centennial Bank Stadium.
“It was a rough night and not how we wanted to start,” said A-State head coach Blake Anderson. “We didn’t respond well and a really good football team beat us. We have a lot of work to do in a very short period of time to get ready for a really good opponent next week. We’ve got to get some things ironed out.”
Toledo converted seven third down conversions in the second quarter to spark three touchdown scores and a 21-3 halftime advantage.
