Old Sun Belt rivals pitted as bowl foes

The Arkansas State University football team completed its first on-site bowl practice in Montgomery, Ala., on Wednesday, as the December breeze flowed in at an even 50 degrees.

Oddsmakers have set the line of Saturday's Camellia Bowl a little higher than an even 50-50 match-up, with the Red Wolves (7-4) favored by 4 points over Middle Tennessee State (6-6).

The former Sun Belt rivals have not played each other since ASU beat the Blue Raiders 45-0 in the 2012 regular-season finale that gave the Red Wolves their second consecutive conference championship.

Three days later, then-Coach Gus Malzahn was announced as Auburn's new head coach, and the Red Wolves entered the GoDaddy.
