Arkansas State began their season with a solid 40-21 win over Central Arkansas, but then hit the skids from there. The Red Wolves would fall to Memphis, Washington, Tulsa, Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, Louisiana and South Alabama over their next seven games. 

In last weekend’s game versus App State, the Red Wolves managed a 24-14 halftime deficit but couldn’t score from there in a 48-14 defeat. QB Layne Hatcher put up 137 yards with two scores and three picks, while Johnnie Lang led the rush on 43 yards from six carries.

Over on the LA-Monroe side, they went 2-2 over their first quartet this year with wins over Jackson State and Troy. The Warhawks followed that up with another 2-2 run, beating Liberty and South Alabama while otherwise falling to Georgia State and Appalachian State. 

The Warhawks played Texas State back on Saturday. In that one LA-Monroe had a 20-19 deficit going into the fourth quarter but ultimately fell 27-19. QB Chandler Rogers had 262 yards on 28-of-43 passing, and Andrew Henry put up 82 yards and a score on 23 carries. 

AR State is 2-6 ATS versus a team with a losing record and 1-4 ATS in the last five conference games. The Red Wolves are 1-4 ATS in their last five in November as well. 

Meanwhile, the Warhawks are 16-33-2 ATS in their last 51 at home and 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 overall. ULM is also 1-5 ATS versus a team with a losing record. 

PICK: Probably sticking with UL-Monroe here. Overall the Warhawks were pretty solid offensively in the loss to Texas State, and could have won that game with a couple of breaks down the stretch. Still, UL-Monroe put up 27 first downs and was a solid 11-of-22 on third-down tries; they were moving the ball. 

As for Arkansas State, they couldn’t stop the Mountaineers all afternoon on Saturday, giving up 461 total yards, 6.1 yards per play, 28 first downs and a 10-of-17 mark on third- and fourth-down tries. The three picks didn’t help, either. That said, the Red Wolves should play much better here in a relatively more comparable matchup.
