JONESBORO -- Short on rest and time, Arkansas State University football Coach Blake Anderson began his weekly news conference Monday while his normally available coordinators were a floor below studying the opponent that snapped their 15-game Sun Belt Conference victory streak a season ago.
The Red Wolves (3-2, 2-0) will host Louisiana-Lafayette (3-2, 2-1) on Thursday in one of the seven nationally televised games the Sun Belt is guaranteed in its contract with ESPN, which runs through the 2019 season.
It's the first time ASU has hosted a nationally televised game since its 27-26 victory over Georgia Southern in 2016, which broadcast on ESPN2.
