JONESBORO -- Recognized more for its strong passing attack led by senior quarterback Justice Hansen, Arkansas State University had its defense to thank for Saturday's victory against UNLV.
Against the country's second-best running game, the Red Wolves' defense put together its strongest performance of the 2018 season in the 27-20 victory over the Runnin' Rebels.
"I think we found our identity as a defense tonight," ASU sophomore defensive end William Bradley-King said.
Five total turnovers kept the Runnin' Rebels' offense and its menacing power running game from doing enough damage to prevent the Red Wolves from their third victory in four games, their best season start since 2008.
