17 AND UNDER: Arkansas State holds a 19-

4 record under head coach Steve Roberts

when holding its opponents to 17 points or

less. The Red Wolves have won 16 of their

last 18 games when holding their opponent to

17 or fewer points and have won 28 straight

games when holding their opponents to 10 or

fewer points.

THE ARKANSAS STATE-ULM SERIES:

ASU has played ULM 31 times, which is the

fifth most in school history among all oppo-

nents. ULM leads the all-time series with

Arkansas State 17-14 since the first meeting

in 1959. As Sun Belt foes, ASU leads the se-

ries 5-4 despite dropping a 16-10 decision to

the Warhawks last season in Monroe. ASU

has won five of the eight meetings with ULM

under head coach Steve Roberts, the only

three setbacks over the last eight years com-

ing 27-31 at ULM in 2005, 30-13 at ULM in

2007 and 16-10 at ULM last year. The home

team has won the game the last five seasons.

FAMILIAR FOE: While Arkansas State and

Louisiana-Monroe have both played as mem-

bers of the Sun Belt Conference since the

league’s inaugural football season in 2001, it

is not the first time the two teams have shared

a league. The Red Wolves and Warhawks,

both formerly known as the Indians, were

both members of the Southland Conference

from 1982 to 1986.

THE LAST TIME vs. THE WARHAWKS

(Monroe, La. - Oct. 13, 2009): Down 16-0 at

the half, Arkansas State rallied to within 20

yards of the tying touchdown with less than a

minute to play but the Red Wolves came up

short as Louisiana-Monroe held on for a 16-

10 Sun Belt Conference victory at a rainy Mal-

one Stadium.

2010 ARKANSAS STATE FOOTBALL NOTES: GAME 3 vs. ulm - SEPT. 18, 2010backer Demario Davis with a then career-high

12 tackles, kept the Warhawks off the score-

board in the second half as the Red Wolves

scored on a 14-yard touchdown pass from

quarterback Corey Leonard to wide receiver

Brandon Thompkins and a 49-yard field goal

from Ryan Wilbourn in the third quarter.

The Arkansas State defense held ULM to

just 86 yards of total offense in the second

half.

Down 16-10 with 4:49 remaining in the

game, Arkansas State took over on its own

20-yard line after ULM kicker Radi Jabour's

22-yard field goal attempt bounced no good

off the left upright. The Red Wolves drove to

the Warhawk 20-yard line in 11 plays with less

than a minute to play but could not punch the

ball into the end zone.

ULM jumped out to a 16-0 lead at the half.

The Warhawks scored on a 48-yard touch-

down pass from Trey Revell to LaGregory

Sapp just 56 seconds into the game and a 20-

yard field goal from Jabour in the first quarter.

With 4:34 left in the second quarter, Frank

Goodin rushed for a 1-yard touchdown to give

the Warhawks a 16-point cushion.

Leonard completed 20 passes on 39 at-

tempts for 234 yards and a touchdown, while

Thompkins led the team with five receptions

for 90 yards and a touchdown to lead the ASU

offense. Thompkins added 99 yards on four

kickoff returns to finish the night with 194 all-

purpose yards. Davis'12 tackles on the night

included nine unassisted.

ing yards against Louisiana-Lafayette not

only broke the ASU single-game record, but

also tied UCF’s Daunte Culpepper’s total in

1998 for the most ever by an opponent at

Cajun Field and are the most by any NCAA

FBS player this season. Aplin, who passed

for 278 yards in the Red Wolves’ season

opener at nationally-ranked Auburn, currently

has the second most passing yards in the

nation with 716. Aplin has posted a comple-

tion total that ranks among the top 10 in

school history at both Auburn (28, tied for 3rd

most) and ULL (25, tied for 6th most).

300-PLUS: Arkansas State posted at least

366 yards of total offense in each of its first

two games, marking the first time since Oct.

24 and Oct. 31 (games 6 and 7) that A-State

posted over 300 yards in back-to-back

games. The Red Wolves recorded over 300

yards of offense in six games last season.

ASU is currently ranked fourth in the SBC and

51st in the nation in total offense with 411

yards per game.

THREE’S COMPANY: The Red Wolves have

three wide receivers ranked among the top 10

players in the league in both receptions and

receiving yards. Dwayne Frampton and Allen

Muse are both ranked among the top 10 play-

ers in both categories, while Anthony Robin-

son is tied for the seventh most receptions

(4.5 per game) in the league and Taylor Stock-

emer has the 10th most receiving yards (61.5

per game). Frampton is ranked third in re-

MORE ON MUSE: Allen Muse recorded five

receptions for 133 yards, both career highs,

against Louisiana-Lafayette. He led A-State

in receiving yards the week prior as well with

80 against Auburn. Muse’s 133 receiving

yards were the 21st most in school history for

a single game. The last time an A-State

player recorded more receiving yards was in

2000. The last time an ASU player recorded

100 or more receiving yards was Sept. 20,

2008 when Jarriel Norman posted 108 yards

against Middle Tennessee. Muse had a 61-

yard reception that tied his previous career

long, originally set against Auburn last week.

Muse is ranked 14th in the nation in receiving

yards.

AMONG THE LEAGUE LEADERS: Senior

safety M.D. Jennings, named the SBC De-

fensive Player of the Week after the Auburn

game, is ranked among the top 15 players in

the conference in tackles (T14th, 7.0 tpg) and

tackles for loss (T12th, 0.75 pg) and top five

players in sacks (T5th, 0.5 spg).

DRAPER HAS CAREER GAME: Redshirt

freshman defensive lineman Amos Draper

had the best game of his young career,

recording five tackles, two tackles for loss,

one sack, a forced fumble and a blocked field

goal against Louisiana-Lafayette that were all

personal career bests. Draper made two big

plays in the fourth quarter, blocking a field

goal that led to an ASU scoring drive and

recording his sack on a third-down play that

put the Red Wolves in a position for the pos-

sible game-tying or winning drive with 2:22 left

on the clock. Draper’s five tackles tied the

second most on the team.

BIG BOOT: While Dean Gericke has just

three punts this season, he has made the

most of his opportunities. Gericke is averag-

ing 49.7 yards per punt, which is the highest

average in the Sun Belt Conference and sec-

ond in the NCAA FBS. However, Gericke

does not have the minimum number of punts

to show up on the SBC and NCAA stats. Two

of Gericke’s three punts have traveled at least

52 yards with a long of 64 against ULL last

week. His only punt that didn’t travel at least

50 yards was fair caught.

IN THE ZONE: The Arkansas State offense

remained perfect in the red zone last week

with three scores in three opportunities. A-

State is now 7-for-7 in the red zone this sea-

son, scoring five touchdowns and kicking two

field goals.

IN THE ZONE (PART II): The Arkansas State

defense is ranked second in the Sun Belt

Conference and 27th in the nation in red zone

defense, holding opponents to a 66.7 scoring

percentage. A-State’s two opponents this

season have turned six of their combined nine

red zone opportunities into points (4 TD, 2

FG).

RETURN THREAT: A-State newcomer Rod

Hall led ASU in total kickoff returns and return

yards in each of the Red Wolves’ first two

games and is ranked third in the Sun Belt

Conference and 38th in the nation in kickoff

return average at 25.6 yards per return. Hall

posted 81 yards on three returns vs. Auburn

with a long of 40 yards and 98 yards on four

returns with a long of 30 yards against ULL.

TACKLE BOX: While senior linebacker

Javon McKinnon recorded a team and per-

sonal season-high nine tackles against

Louisiana-Lafayette, there were seven other

players that either tied or broke their career

highs for tackles in a game. Among those

players were Bryan Hall, Amos Draper, Justin

Robertson, Najel Byrd, Darron Edwards, Tim

Starson and Ryan Carrethers.

BEHIND THE LINE: Junior cornerback Dar-

ron Edwards recorded a career-high 2 tackles

for loss against ULL, making him part of at

least one tackle behind the line of scrimmage

in each of A-State’s first two games. Edwards

is ranked second in the Sun Belt Conference

in tackles for loss with 1.25 per game. Ed-

wards also posted four tackles in each of the

a-state in the 2010 ncaa individual rankingsCATEGORY TOTAL/AVG. PLAYER RANK LEADERPassing Yards 716 yards Ryan Aplin 2 Kinne (Tulsa), 755 yards

first two games and a pass break-up against

Auburn.

QUICK STRIKE “O”: Four of A-State’s six

touchdown drives this season have taken

under two minutes and none have been more

than three minutes in length. All but one of

ASU’s nine scoring drives (TD and FG) have

taken less than three minutes. It took A-State

1:49 or less to score all three of its touch-

downs last week against Louisiana-Lafayette.

BIG PLAY: Arkansas State has ran 11 plays

this season that have covered at least 20

yards, including nine last week against

Louisiana-Lafayette. The Red Wolves have

already ran four plays that covered at least 53

yards with a long play of 65 yards (Ryan Aplin

pass to Taylor Stockemer) against ULL.

EARLY START TO CONFERENCE PLAY:

Prior to this season, the earliest A-State had

ever played a Sun Belt Conference opponent

was the third game of the season (Troy in

2009). A-State has not played three of its first

four games against league foes since the

1995 season when it was a member of the Big

West Conference. ASU’s first three SBC

games include outings against two of the top

four teams in the conference’s preseason

coaches poll (UL Lafayette, 4th; Troy, 2nd).

ASU is involved in the only Sun Belt Confer-

ence games played both this week and last

week.

NEW FACES: Twenty-three players com-

peted in their first career game at A-State over

the last two games, including four true fresh-

men, eight redshirt freshmen, two sopho-

mores, seven junior-college transfers (all

juniors) and two juniors . . . . . Additionally, 10

players started their first career game at ASU,

including Dorvus Woods (DL), Justin Robert-

son (DE), Walter Moody (CB), Darron Ed-

wards (CB), Tim Starson(DE), Greg McCall

(DL), Najel Byrd (LB) and Tausean Holmes

(DB) on defense and Anthony Robinson (WR)

and Dwayne Frampton (WR) on offense.

96th SEASON UNDER WAY: Arkansas

State kicked off its 96th season of football on

Sept. 4 at nationally-ranked Auburn. ASU

holds a 412-445-37 record since the inaugu-

ral 1911 season and has played in seven bowl

games. A-State did not field a football team

from 1942-44 due to World War II. ASU also

didn’t have a team in 1918 as World War I

was ending.

STRESSING ACADEMICS: The Arkansas

State football team won the Sun Belt Confer-

ence Team Academic Award for the 2009-10

academic year, marking the seventh time over

the last eight years it has accomplished the

feat.

THE TOP 25: Auburn was the 12th ASU op-

ponent ranked among the nation’s top 25

teams at the time of a game with the Red

Wolves under head coach Steve Roberts. Fol-

lowing is a list of ranked opponents that ASU

has played under Roberts:

dle Tennessee won the vote with 75 points.

STRONG D: Arkansas State has ranked No.

1 or No. 2 in the Sun Belt Conference and

among the top 50 teams in the nation each of

the last four years in total defense. Below is

a break down of ASU’s defensive statistical

rankings for the last four years:

Year SBC Rank National Rank YPG

2009 1 41 340.5

2008 2 46 336.5

2007 1 43 362.3

2006 2 32 309.4

NATIONAL COVERAGE: Arkansas State will

play at least two nationally televised games

for the second consecutive year in 2010. The

Red Wolves will catch Middle Tennessee at

home on Nov. 2 in a game televised by

ESPN2 and Navy on the road on Nov. 20 in a

game televised by CBS College Sports. Prior

to last season, the last time ASU had played

a nationally televised game was in the 2005

New Orleans Bowl.

TELEVISION TIME: Arkansas State currently

has seven televised games scheduled for the

regular season, the second most in school

history. A-State played eight regular-season

games on television last season for the

record. The Red Wolves have three league

games (UL Lafayette, ULM, FAU) televised on

the Sun Belt Network, while the Auburn game

was carried by Fox Sports South. The Troy

game will be televised by the Troy/ISP Net-

work, the Middle Tennessee game by ESPN2

and the Navy game by CBS College Sports.

TURF INSTALLATION COMPLETED: In-

stallation of a new and state-of-the-art field

turf surface inside ASU stadium was com-

pleted as scheduled after a final inspection of

the project was conducted in late July. The

field is in practice and playing condition for the

beginning of the Red Wolves fall camp today.

The new GeoSurfaces field turf is slightly

thicker than the previous product, which was

installed when ASU originally transitioned

from a grass field to an artificial playing sur-

face prior to the 2006 season. The field also

has a sand base for the first time in addition to

the “no fly-out” rubber installed. The field also

has a new look with two new Red Wolves

logos, white Sun Belt Conference logos and

black trim around the outside of the playing

field.



Not long after leading

Arkansas State to the 2005

Sun Belt Conference cham-

pionship and New Orleans

Bowl, head coach Steve

Roberts continues to make

ASU a dominant force in

the Sun Belt Conference

and has ASU on track for

continued success in the

upcoming years.

When the 2005 Sun

Belt Conference Coach of

the Year took over the pro-

gram in December 2001, he

impressed everyone with

his wide-eyed enthusiasm

and limitless energy. And, most of all, they believed that Roberts

would bring success to the ASU football program. Roberts has been

the driving force behind ASU’s recent success, leading the football

program to its most victories over an eight-year span since 1985-92.

Roberts came to Arkansas State University and brought with

him a fresh enthusiasm, energy, and an “I Will” philosophy that has

been adopted by everyone associated with the program.

“I Will” became the rallying cry as Roberts and his staff charged

ahead through a grueling 13-game schedule in 13 weeks with no

open date in his inaugural season and came within 11 points of win-

ning the Sun Belt Conference championship and playing in the Sun

Belt Conference prize—the New Orleans Bowl.

ASU ended the season with a record of 6-7 and finished third

in the league rankings. That tied the most wins since rejoining Divi-

sion I-A in 1992. The Red Wolves finished in the top ten turnarounds

by Division I-A football schools for improving football records after

finishing 2-9 in 2001.

Under Roberts’ direction, ASU continues to add to the achieve-

ments that began upon his arrival. Not only did ASU represent the

Sun Belt Conference in the 2005 New Orleans Bowl, it claimed its

first league championship since 1986. Arkansas State went unde-

feated at home that season and is now 29-10 all-time at ASU Sta-

dium under Roberts. The bowl appearance was ASU’s first since

playing in the 1970 Pecan Bowl.

ASU has been bowl eligible three of the last five seasons and

the last four Roberts’ coached teams backed up the 2005 Sun Belt

championship with non-conference victories over teams such as

Army, Memphis, SMU and Texas A&M. The Red Wolves’ 2008 win

over the Aggies was one of the biggest wins in school history as

ASU picked up its first victory over a BCS conference school since

joining the FBS.

The Red Wolves have finished among the top three teams in

the Sun Belt Conference four times, but ASU has also been com-

petitive during Roberts’ tenure against the nation’s elite teams. ASU

fell to then-ranked No. 25 Memphis by just 12 points in 2004, No. 4

Texas by eight points in 2007 and No. 13 Iowa by three points in

2009.

In addition to the 2002 and 2008 teams, the 2005 and 2006

squads both posted six wins to mark the first time since the 1986

and 1987 seasons the Red Wolves recorded at least six victories in

back-to-back seasons. Roberts already holds the fifth most wins

among ASU’s 26 all-time head and needs just 12 more victories to

move into second on the list.

The 2008 Roberts’ coached team holds the all-time school

record for single-season offense and the ASU defense has ranked

No. 1 or No. 2 in the Sun Belt Conference each of the last four sea-

sons.

Over the last eight years, ASU has picked up 70 all-conference

selections, including at least 10 four of the last five years. ASU had

11 players named all-conference in 2008, its most ever as a mem-

ber of the SBC. The Red Wolves placed 10 players on the list in

2002, 2005 and 2006, and nine in 2007.

Roberts has coached a Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the

Year, Offensive Player of the Year, two Defensive Player of the Year

winners and a Newcomer of the Year.

The Red Wolves have had four NFL draft picks under Roberts,

including David Johnson in 2009, Tyrell Johnson in 2008, Oren

O’Neal in 2007 and Corey Williams in 2004. Johnson was a second-

round selection and the third highest drafted player in ASU history.

Alex Carrington, the 2008 Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of

the Year, is also expected by many experts to be a high draft selec-

tion in 2010. Additonally, 13 ASU players have either been drafted

or signed NFL free agent contracts since Roberts’ first season in

2002.

With five Sun Belt Conference Team Academic Awards,

Roberts has made academics a priority as well for the Red Wolves.

ASU consistently places a large number of players on the ASU Ath-

letic Director’s Honor Roll and Sun Belt Conference Academic

Honor Roll. The most recent ASU AD’s Honor Roll saw 45 football

players make the list.

Attendance has show significant improvement during the

Roberts era. ASU has drawn a crowd of over 20,000 in 15 games

all-time at ASU Stadium and six of those have come over the last

nine games. Of those 15 games, 11 have been played with Roberts

as head coach.

A stadium-record crowd was of 30,427 was on hand to watch

ASU play Memphis in 2004, and ASU set the best average atten-

dance mark of 21,105 in 2008.

During his tenure, ASU has upgraded its facilities with a new

training room, weight room, locker room, recruiting room and state-

of-the-art ProGreen turf on the field.

Roberts was named Arkansas State’s 26th head football coach

on December 21, 2001, to bring full circle his coaching odyssey from

his home state through Louisiana and back. But, the trek has been

a successful one, including an 8-4 record and national ranking in

Division I-AA in 2000 at Northwestern (La.) State.

Roberts spent two seasons at NSU, where he and his staff and

team took on a tough schedule which included a 27-24 overtime

upset at TCU. While at NSU, Roberts was a finalist for the Eddie

Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. Prior to going to NSU,

Roberts served as the head coach and defensive coordinator at

Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia from 1994-99. While

there, his 1997 team won the Gulf South Championship, earning

him Gulf South Coach of the Year honors. The Muleriders finished

with a cumulative record of 26-5 from 1997-99, including 9-1 in

1999, 8-2 in 1998 and 9-2 in 1997.

During that span, his teams enjoyed top conference rankings in

scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense and total defense.

At SAU, he also served as the defensive secondary coach and re-

cruiting coordinator from 1990-94 before being named head coach.

Academically, his program ranked first in academic achievements

in the Gulf South Conference three seasons.

Roberts, an avid fisherman, graduated from Robinson High

School in Little Rock. A 1987 graduate of Ouachita Baptist Univer-

sity, where he was an Academic All-American, Roberts received his

masters from SAU in 1989. He and his wife Sherri have one daugh-

ter – Abby (14).

GAME 1

AUBURN, Ala. (09/04/10) - Arkansas State sophomore quarterback Ryan

Aplin passed for 278 yards and a touchdown, but the 22nd-ranked Auburn

Tigers countered with 363 yards of total offense and five total scores from

junior quarterback Cameron Newton and defeated the Red Wolves 52-26

before a crowd of 83,441 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the season opener for

both teams.

Aplin connected on 28 of his 42 passes on the night to seven receivers,

with junior wide receiver Dwayne Frampton hauling in eight passes for 74

yards and a touchdown, and safety M.D. Jennings led the ASU defense with

11 tackles, including two for loss, one forced fumble and one fumble recov-

ery.

Arkansas State got on the board first when Aplin passed complete across

the middle to Frampton from 10 yards out for a Red Wolves touchdown at

the 5:18 mark of the first quarter. The scoring strike was set up when Aplin

found wide receiver Allen Muse alone down the right sideline for a 61-yard

1:51 to go in the first quarter. Senior Wes Bynum added the extra point for

the Tigers, giving Auburn a 7-6 lead after the extra point attempt following

ASU's touchdown was no good.

Less than a minute later, Auburn made it 14-6 when Newton passed com-

plete for a 36-yard touchdown to senior running back Mario Fannin with one

minute to play in the opening quarter.

Auburn added a two-yard touchdown run from Newton with 9:43 remain-

ing in the second quarter to stretch its lead to 21-6, but the Red Wolves an-

swered with a 55-yard drive that ended with junior running back Jermaine

Robertson's 13-yard touchdown run with 6:46 to go in the first half.

The Tigers used the big play to put two more touchdowns on the board be-

fore the break, getting a 48-yard scoring pass from Newton to wide receiver

Quindarius Carr and a 71-yard

touchdown run from Newton. A 26-

yard field goal from ASU freshman

Bryan Davis following Auburn's

Newton-to-Carr touchdown left the

Tigers with a 35-16 lead at the

break.

Arkansas State's Nick Nelms re-

covered an Auburn fumble on the

second half kickoff to set up an

Arkansas State touchdown that

pulled the Red Wolves trimmed the

deficit 35-23. Nelms' recovery set

up the Red Wolves offense at the

Auburn 27, and ASU needed just

five plays to find the end zone, scor-

ing on an eight-yard touchdown run

from junior running back Derek

Lawson.

Auburn answered with a 38-yard

touchdown pass from Newton to

Fannin and a 24-yard field goal

from Bynum on the final play of the

third quarter to take a 45-23 lead

into the final period of play.

two-yard touchdown run from fresh-

man Michael Dyer midway through

the fourth, and Davis added a 41-

yard field goal for the Red Wolves

with 4:16 remaining in the game to

set the final score at 52-26.

and a touchdown on 16 carries to

GAME 2

LAFAYETTE, La. (09/11/10) - A 31-7 fourth-quarter deficit proved to be

too much to overcome as the Arkansas State Red Wolves suffered a 31-24

loss to the Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette at Cajun Field in the Sun

Belt Conference opener for both teams.

The Red Wolves trailed by 24 points early in the final period before reel-

ing off 17 straight, but the rally fell short when ULL safety Maurice Rolle in-

tercepted ASU sophomore quarterback Ryan Aplin with 1:59 remaining in

the game to end A-State's final drive.

Aplin passed for a school-record 438 yards in the loss, completing 25 of

45 passes with two touchdowns passing and one rushing. Aplin's 438 yards

also tied a Cajun Field record, matching former Central Florida quarterback

Daunte Culpepper's mark set against ULL during the 1998 season. Soph-

omore wideout Alan Muse hauled in five passes for 133 yards from Aplin, the

most yards for an ASU player since the 2000 season.

A pair of first-quarter scores from the Cajuns handed A-State an early 10-

Sophomore quarterback Ryan Aplin

(left) was named the Sun Belt Confer-

ence Offensive Player of the Week fol-

lowing the Louisiana-Lafayette game

after recording a school record 438

passing yards, two passing touch-

downs and a rushing score.

point deficit.

Louisiana-Lafayette tailback Kevis Streeter went 69 yards on the Cajuns'

first play from scrimmage to put ULL on the board early in the game, and a

turnover deep in ASU territory set up the second Ragin' Cajun score. After

ULL defensive back Melvin White recovered a Red Wolves fumble at the A-

State 17, the Cajuns used a 27-yard field goal from Tyler Albrecht to take a

10-0 lead with 3:09 remaining in the first quarter.

Arkansas State answered on its next play from scrimmage when Aplin

found wide receiver Taylor Stockemer alone across the middle for a 65-yard

touchdown that cut the ULL lead to 10-7, but the Cajuns countered with three

unanswered touchdowns to build a 31-7 cushion into the third quarter.

The Ragin' Cajuns took advantage of Arkansas State's second turnover

to increase their lead to 17-7 midway through the second quarter. Louisiana-

Lafayette took over at the ASU 32 following a fumbled punt return and got

the touchdown on a six-yard pass from quarterback Chris Masson to tight

end Ladarius Green with 7:11 remaining in the half.

A 47-yard touchdown pass from

wide receiver Javone Lawson to

wideout Andrew Joseph stretched

the ULL lead to 24-7 with just over

four minutes to play before the

break.

Masson broke free for a 60-yard

touchdown run late in the third quar-

ter that gave the Ragin' Cajuns a 31-

7 advantage before A-State

freshman Bobby Zalud made it 31-

10 with a 39-yard field goal with

13:24 remaining in the game.

Aplin scored on a five-yard touch-

down run with 7:42 remaining that

cut the ULL lead to 31-17, then

passed for an 11-yard touchdown to

wide receiver Anthony Robinson

with 3:27 to play that trimmed the

deficit to a touchdown, but Rolle's in-

terception ended the Red Wolves'

rally.

Defensively, the Red Wolves were

led by linebacker Javon McKinnon's

nine tackles, which was two short of

his career high. Defensive lineman

Bryan Hall added five stops, includ-

ing one quarterback sack.
