The first came when Chris Stone recovered a fumble in the end zone after a Ja’Von Rolland-Jones sack to make the score 42-31 with 8:44 remaining in the game. He has a noodle arm, but Knighten takes care of the ball, shepherds passes to receivers efficiently in the Red Wolves’ conservative passing game and can get out of the pocket and run. Arkansas State scored on the next play and punched in a 2-point conversion to pull within 31-28 and the Jaguars fell apart after that.

Tuesday Night’s college football game is a contest between the Arkansas State Red Wolves and the South Alabama Jaguars.
South Alabama senior quarterback Cody Clements, a UAB transfer, has completed 80-of-154 passes for 1,131 yards, seven touchdowns and six interceptions.
The Arkansas State Red Wolves are trying to work their way back to prominence in the Sun Belt and are hopeful a 49-35 win against visiting Idaho is a step in that direction.
The South Alabama Jaguars were a bit of a mystery entering the season and are still more unknown then known but they were all defense in a 24-18 win at Troy as a touchdown underdog. Meanwhile, South Alabama has never started conference play 2-0 in its brief three years in the conference. Warren Wand lead the way with 85 rushing yards while Johnson White had two rushing touchdowns.

The Red Wolves did that thanks to a four-touchdown outburst in just over five minutes of the fourth quarter, which they used to rally from 11 points down for a 49-31 victory over South Alabama in front of a nationally-televised crowd. However, of those teams only Georgia Southern has played two conference games.
