JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) _ Arkansas State has experienced its share of success

lately, having won at least a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship in

five of the last six seasons.



After recovering from an 0-4 start to this season, the Red Wolves (7-5) hope to

extend that success out of their own league when they face Central Florida (6-6)

in the Cure Bowl on Saturday.



Arkansas State started slowly this season with losses to Toledo and Auburn.

However, it was losses to Utah State and Football Championship Subdivision

member Central Arkansas that sent the Red Wolves to 0-4, defeats in which they

committed a combined seven turnovers.



Thanks to a renewed commitment to each other, brought on by third-year coach

Blake Anderson, Arkansas State’s players won seven of their final eight games.
