A-State Holds Off High-Powered Southern Illinois, 41-28

The Red Wolves (2-2) relied upon 17 unanswered points in the second quarter to take the lead for good, while the A-State defense came up with key stops in the red zone in the fourth quarter to hold off the high-powered Salukis (2-2).

“I’ll never gripe about a win, even when it’s not a pretty win, but we found a way to get it done,” head coach Blake Anderson said. “I’m really pleased with the offense. We ran the clock out there at the end, so that was a good way to finish. I thought the drive right before halftime was critical and it proved to be a key point for us to go down the field and get that (score).
