JONESBORO -- Arkansas State University earned its first victory of the season after another milestone effort by redshirt junior quarterback Justice Hansen, who passed for a career-high five touchdown passes in a 48-3 victory over the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff on Saturday night.
ASU (1-1) had little trouble handling its in-state opponent, leading 20-3 at halftime, and the Red Wolves earned their first nonconference victory in the regular season since defeating Missouri State 70-7 in 2015.
Hansen was 24 of 31 passing for 336 yards before an announced crowd of 24,371 at Centennial Bank Stadium, with touchdown passes going to five different receivers.
