Finally my hatred for Middle Tennessee has been put to ease...at least for now. I was 16 the last time ASU beat MTSU. Back then I didn't even know who Arkansas State was. (I blame the media's biasm towards Arkansas) Anyways watching the Red Wolves finally beating the Blue Raiders was freakin fantastic.
Just a few notes from the game:
Arkansas State junior quarterback Corey Leonard rolled up a career-high 366 yards of total offense, leading the Red Wolves to a 31-14 victory over Middle Tennessee State.
Rushing:
Corey Leonard - 10 attempts for 75 yards
Derek Lawson - 10 attempts for 62 yards and a td
Reggie Arnold - 12 attempts for 29 yards
I have been at this school for nearly five years and this is the first time I have seen a win over Middle Tennessee. I remember my sophomore year when me and my buddy drove nearly eight hours to watch us get CRUSHED by the Blue Raiders like 45-7. That was the longest ride back of my life. But the dinner at Chilis was so good. So deserved.
Or in 2006 ago when Middle Tennessee defeated us 38-10 at HOME, which broke up our undefeated record at Jonesboro. It feels so good to finally defeat that stupid team. And not just beat them but dominate them.
Just want to give some props to our fans as well. Three straight weeks of 20,000 or more fans is something to proud of. (For us anyway) Having that many people show up to the game against Texas Southern (when Arkansas was playing in Little Rock that weekend) is definitely a big change for ASU.
HOW LONG CAN THE HOGS RUN NOW? I predict we will play them in the next couple of years.
