JONESBORO -- The Red Wolves' injury-riddled defensive line is expected to receive a huge boost Thursday night when Arkansas State University (3-3, 1-1 Sun Belt) hosts Louisiana-Lafayette (4-2, 1-1 Sun Belt) at Centennial Bank Stadium at 6:30 p.m.
ASU Coach Blake Anderson said in his news conference Monday that senior defensive tackle Kevin Thurmon, who's missed two consecutive games with a broken hand, is expected to start against the Ragin' Cajuns.
Thurmon will wear a hefty protective cast on his surgically repaired hand. Thurmon already has tested it out during practice, and he has not experienced any discomfort, Anderson said.
