League optimism in place for ASU

An 0-0 record breeds optimism. Players and coaches always find a way to be hopeful throughout the preseason, no matter how the previous year ended.

The same can't necessarily be said for a 0-0 conference record -- at least for a team coming off back-to-back losses.

But Arkansas State is trying to put a positive spin on things as the Red Wolves begin their Sun Belt Conference slate.

ASU kicks things off with a trip to Norfolk, Va., tonight for a game against new Sun Belt foe Old Dominion at S.B. Ballard Stadium. The Monarchs joined Conference USA after moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2013, yet finished among the top two in the league's East Division only twice.
