When the Arkansas State football team departs for Lincoln, Neb., at 11:40 a.m. today, it will be heading toward a stadium with college football's longest sellout streak (354), which includes two Red Wolves' losses by an average of 32 points.
Arkansas State University's struggles against Power 5 teams are evident: The Red Wolves have been outscored 208-79 in four losses to such opponents under Coach Blake Anderson, and the team last beat a Power 5 team in an 18-14 victory over Texas A&M in the 2008 season opener.
Nebraska enters this season unranked after the Cornhuskers were ranked in the preseason Top 25 before their previous meetings with ASU in 2009 and 2012.
