Arkansas State vs Southern Miss

Arkansas State dominated the trenches in Hattiesburg, grinding out a 23-13 Sun Belt victory over Southern Miss at M.M. Roberts Stadium. The Red Wolves controlled the game with a physical, methodical approach that kept the Golden Eagles' offense off balance all afternoon. Southern Miss struggled to find any rhythm against a relentless Arkansas State defense that made life miserable in the pocket and stuffed the run. The Golden Eagles managed just 13 points as the Red Wolves' defense set the tone early and never let up, forcing Southern Miss into difficult third-down situations throughout the contest. Arkansas State's balanced attack and defensive dominance proved too much for the home team to overcome in this conference showdown.
