JONESBORO, Ark. – The Arkansas State Athletics Department announced Tuesday that a Dec. 12 home game against the University of the Incarnate Word has been added to the football team’s 2020 schedule and also that the Red Wolves’ Sun Belt Conference contest against ULM has been rescheduled for Dec. 5.

The addition of UIW gives A-State a pair of December games at Centennial Bank Stadium and three consecutive home contests to conclude its regular-season competition. As of now, the Red Wolves are slated to host South Alabama on Nov. 28, ULM on Dec. 5 and UIW on Dec. 12.

The UIW contest replaces A-State’s game against Tulsa, which was postponed earlier this year and unable to be rescheduled during the 2020 season. The Red Wolves’ game against the Warhawks was previously announced for Dec. 12, but moved up a week to accommodate Sun Belt Conference scheduling.

Arkansas State will play Southland Conference-member UIW for the first time in school history. The outing is currently the Cardinals only game this fall, but they have a six-game spring schedule slated to begin Feb. 20 against Sam Houston State.

The Red Wolves return to action Saturday, when they will travel to San Marcos to play Texas State in their final road game of the regular season.
