The Troy Trojans are set to visit Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro, Arkansas for a Sun Belt clash against the Arkansas State Red Wolves. The Troy Trojans come into this matchup with a 3-2 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Georgia State Panthers 36-34. QB Jacob Free had an inconsistent game through the air as he threw for 329 yards and 2 TDs while also throwing 2 interceptions. WR Reggie Todd was the top target for Free and the Trojans as he hauled in 8 catches for 130 yards and a TD.

The Troy Trojans struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Georgia State Panthers as they allowed them to score 36 points while racking up a total of 379 yards of offense. LB Jayden McDonald led the way for the Troy defense with 16 tackles and 3 TFLs while LB Carlton Martial pitched in 15 tackles and 1 TFL. The secondary had a productive outing for the Trojans as CB Reedy Steward hauled in an interception which he returned for a TD.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves come into this matchup with a 3-3 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Appalachian State Mountaineers, 45-17. The Red Wolves QBs struggled in this matchup as Layne Hatcher threw for 178 yards and 1 interception while Logan Bonner only had 117 passing yards. WR Jonathan Adams Jr. was the top target for Arkansas State as he hauled in 6 catches for 134 yards.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves struggled on the defensive side of the ball as they allowed the Appalachian State Mountaineers to score 45 points and rack up a total of 521 yards of offense. DB CJ Harris led the way for the Arkansas State defense with 8 tackles and 2 TFLs while DB Elery Alexander pitched in 7 tackles and 2 TFLs. Safety Antonio Fletcher had a productive outing from the secondary for the Red Wolves as he recorded 5 tackles and the lone interception of the game.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves were embarrassed in their recent game against a good Appalachian State squad, but this is still a dangerous team as they own a win over Kansas State. The Red Wolves have a two QB system going this season as Bonner and Hatcher have been even on the stat sheet, but they also have a very dangerous WR with Jonathan Adams Jr. as he has racked up 673 receiving yards and 7 TDs thus far. QB Gunnar Watson also left the game early for Troy last week which is a hit considering he has thrown for 10 TDs this season, and if he is unable to go against Arkansas State, Troy won’t be able to keep up on the scoreboard. Final Score Prediction, Arkansas State Red Wolves win and cover ATS 42-34.
