JONESBORO -- Two days after Arkansas State's home football game against No. 17 Miami would have been played, Red Wolves Coach Blake Anderson lamented the hurricane that has left nearly a third of Florida residents without power while also sucking some of the energy out of his team.
"As much as I wanted to play, I wanted to make sure we kept people in our thoughts and prayers with what they're going through," Anderson said in a room three floors above the field at Centennial Bank Stadium.
Anderson, ASU's fourth-year coach, said his players were "down initially" after the news broke Wednesday of the cancellation and that he thought the team's practice that day wasn't very good.
