What to Know

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks are 0-7 against the Arkansas State Red Wolves since November of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. The Warhawks and Arkansas State will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 7 p.m. ET at Centennial Bank Stadium. Louisiana-Monroe will be strutting in after a win while Arkansas State will be stumbling in from a loss.

Louisiana-Monroe didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns last week, but they still walked away with a 21-17 victory. Louisiana-Monroe's RB Andrew Henry looked sharp as he rushed for one TD and 127 yards on 11 carries. That touchdown -- a 75-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the contest.

Meanwhile, the Red Wolves were close but no cigar last week as they fell 29-26 to the Old Dominion Monarchs. WR Jeff Foreman put forth a good effort for the losing side as he caught four passes for one TD and 115 yards. That receiving effort made it the first game that Foreman has posted more than 100 yards receiving.

The Warhawks are expected to lose this next one by 7. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Louisiana-Monroe's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Louisiana-Monroe is now 1-2 while the Red Wolves sit at 1-3. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Louisiana-Monroe enters the matchup having picked the ball off five times, good for 22nd in the nation. But Arkansas State comes into the game boasting the ninth fewest thrown interceptions in the nation at one. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
