Sun Belt shootout

JONESBORO — On fourth and 6 with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter and leading 59-52, Arkansas State’s defense needed one last stop — something that had been hard to come by all night.

The Red Wolves got it, as sophomore cornerback Samy Johnson and senior safety Elery Alexander broke up a pass down the right sideline to secure ASU’s first Sun Belt win of the season, a 59-52 victory over Georgia State on Thursday at Centennial Bank Stadium.

“If you like offense, that was probably a really fun one to watch,” ASU Coach Blake Anderson said.
