JONESBORO -- With an opportunity to become bowl-eligible and an outside chance of earning a spot in the Sun Belt Conference Championship game, Arkansas State has a lot to play for Thursday night when it hosts Louisiana-Lafayette.
As the only Division I football game scheduled for Thursday, the matchup between the longtime rivals will be played under a national spotlight, with ESPN in town to broadcast the contest at Centennial Bank Stadium on ASU's Senior Night.
"It's the last opportunity for a lot of these seniors to come out and pay tribute to them," ASU Coach Butch Jones said.
