ASU loss puts Sun Belt title in jeopardy
ASU quarterback Justice Hansen tried to evade defenders Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette.LAFAYETTE, La. — Arkansas State will have to wait another week to clinch at least a share of the Sun Belt Conference title.
The Red Wolves aren’t even guaranteed of that either following Saturday’s 24-19 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette at Cajun Field, which snapped their six-game winning streak.
Anthony Jennings passed for 242 yards, much coming on long pass plays that had been rare against ASU’s defense this season, to lead Louisiana-Lafayette (5-6, 4-3) to a victory it needed to remain in contention for bowl eligibility.
It didn’t come until ASU came about as close as possible to a comeback.
