JONESBORO, Ark. (4/4/16) – The Arkansas State Athletics Department announced Monday its football team will play a home-and-home series, consisting of four games from 2020-23, with American Athletic Conference member Memphis.
The four-game addition to A-State’s future schedules will revive A-State’s longest series against any opponent in school history. Arkansas State has played Memphis 57 times since the two teams first met in 1914.
“We appreciate (Memphis Athletics Director) Tom Bowen and the Memphis coaching staff for their efforts to get this series scheduled again,” said A-State Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir. “There is a lot of history between our two programs, and this will present an outstanding opportunity for both fan bases to travel for a great regional match-up, so we’re excited to get Memphis back on our football schedule.
