Strong second half will earn ASU quarterback Hansen his first start

Justice Hansen helped lead Arkansas State to its most productive half of the season Friday night.

It didn’t lead to a red Wolves victory, but it will earn him his first career start.

Coach Blake Anderson said Monday that Hansen, a sophomore who came off the bench to pass for 277 yards and 1 touchdown in Friday’s loss to Utah State, will start Saturday’s game against Central Arkansas.

Hansen lost a battle with graduate transfer Chad Voytik for the starting spot i August, but led ASU to a season-high in points and total yards while playing three quarters.
