2010 ARKANSAS STATE FOOTBALL NOTES: GAME 6 at north texas - oct. 9, 2010members of the Big West Conference from
1999-2000 and the Southland Conference from
1983-1986.
LONE STAR SUCCESS: Dating back to the
2007 season, Arkansas State has won its last
six games against teams from the Lone Star
state. The Red Wolves fell to Texas in their
2007 season opener, but came back to sweep
their games over SMU and North Texas before
knocking off Texas A&M, Texas Southern and
North Texas in 2008 and the Mean Green again
in 2009.
McKINNON NAMED SBC DEFENSIVE
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Senior linebacker
Javon McKinnon was named the Sun Belt
Conference Defensive Player of the Week
on Monday after recording a career-high 16
tackles, including a career-best two tackles
for loss, against Louisville last Saturday.
McKinnon’s 16 tackles were the most by a
Sun Belt Conference player since the 2008
season, the most by an ASU player since for-
mer SBC Defensive Player of the Year Tyrell
Johnson posted 25 against North Texas in
2005 and tied the 14th most in the nation this
year. His 16 stops were also just four shy of
the seventh most in school history.
WRAPPING UP: Javon McKinnon has now
posted double-figure tackles in each of the
last two games to climb to a tie for third in the
stat in the Sun Belt Conference with 9.2 tack-
les per game. He is now ranked tied for 47th
in the nation in tackles and has a team-high
46 (28 solo, 18 assisted) stops.
SBC WEEKLY HONORS: The Red Wolves
have had three players earn one of the Sun
Belt Conference’s weekly honors four times.
Sophomore quarterback Ryan Aplin has
been named the league’s offensive player of
the week twice, while senior safety M.D. Jen-
nings and senior linebacker Javon McKinnon
have both been recognized as the defensive
player of the week once.
20 SOMETHING: Arkansas State has scored
at least 24 points in each of its first five games
and is averaging 27.2 points a game, which
ranks third in the Sun Belt Conference. The last
time A-State scored 20 or more points in five
consecutive games was the 1995 season. The
last time ASU scored 20-plus points in six
straight games was the 1987 season when it
actually did so in eight consecutive outings.
AN ASU VICTORY WOULD . . . give it six
straight victories over the Mean Green . . . snap
a three game road skid for the Red Wolves . . .
make the Red Wolves .500 after four league
games for the second time in the last four sea-
sons (also .500 in 2008) . . . give it seven
straight wins over teams from the state of Texas
dating back to the 2007 season.
TALE OF TWO HALVES: Arkansas State has
outscored its opponent in at least one half in
every game this season except for its season
opener at Auburn. Below is a breakdown of the
scoring for ASU in each half of its last four
games:
1ST HALF 2ND HALF
ULL 7-24 17-7
ULM 21-6 13-14
Troy 14-24 14-11
UL 7-31 17-3
PLAY AFTER PLAY: Arkansas State has run
at least 80 offensive plays in three of its first five
games, including a season-high 84 at Auburn.
Prior to this season, the last time ASU had run
at least 80 plays in a game was Oct. 13, 2007
when it ran 85 against Louisiana-Monroe. If the
Red Wolves maintain their average 74.2 plays
per game, they would finish the regular season
with 890 total plays to easily break the school

FORCING TURNOVERS: The Red Wolves
posted one interception and a fumble recovery
against Louisville, giving them three straight
games with at least one pick and three games
this year with a fumble recovery (Auburn, Troy
and Louisville). Junior defensive back Kelcie
McCray recorded his first interception of the
season and fifth of his career last week against
Louisville, while Dorvus Woods recorded his
first fumble recovery this year.
PLAYING IN THE BACKFIELD: Redshirt
freshman defensive lineman Amos Draper
recorded his second sack of the season and a
career-high three tackles for loss against Troy.
His two sacks are the second most on the team
and his 5.5 tackles for loss rank not only second
in the Sun Belt Conference, but also 55th in the
nation.
ZALUD STEPPING UP: True freshman kicker
Bobby Zalud is ranked third in the Sun Belt
Conference in scoring by kick despite not at-
tempting a field goal in the Red Wolves’ season
opener or two weeks ago against Troy. How-
ever, Zalud is 14-of-14 on extra point attempts
over the last four games and 4-of-7 on field goal
attempts in three of A-State’s five games..
IN THE ZONE: The Arkansas State offense is
almost perfect in the red zone, scoring on 17 of

19 opportunities for a 89.5 percentage. That
percentage is ranked first in the SBC and 22nd
in the nation in red zone offense.
IN THE ZONE (PART II): The Arkansas State
defense is first in the Sun Belt Conference and
tied for fourth in the nation in red zone defense,
holding opponents to a 60.9 scoring percent-
age. A-State’s four opponents this season have
turned just 14 of their combined 23 red zone op-
portunities into points (10 TD, 4 FG).
BIG PLAY: Arkansas State has run 31 plays
(6.2 per game) this season that have covered at
least 20 yards, including seven last week
against Louisville and a season-high nine
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.
MUSE CONTINUING TO PUT UP BIG NUM-
BERS: Allen Muse recorded a career-high two
touchdown receptions last game, one week
after posting a career-high seven passes for
119 yards and his first career touchdown
against Troy. Muse posted five receptions for a
career-high 133 yards against UL Lafayette as
well. Muse’s 133 receiving yards against the
Ragin’ Cajuns were the 21st most in school his-
tory for a single game. The last time an A-State
player had recorded more receiving yards was
in 2000.
NCAA: Ryan Aplin’s school-record 438 pass-
ing yards against Louisiana-Lafayette are the
third most by any NCAA FBS player this sea-
son. Bryant Moniz of Hawaii and Ben Chappell
of Indiana are the only two players to pass for
more yards in a game this season with 532 and
480, respectively. Aplin’s 438 yards 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.
300-PLUS: Arkansas State posted at least 366
yards of total offense in each of its first five
games, marking the first time since the 2008
season it has compiled over 300 yards of of-
fense in five consecutive outings. The 2008
team posted at least 300 yards of offense in its
first seven games. The Red Wolves recorded
over 300 yards of offense in six games for all of
last season. ASU is currently ranked second in
the SBC and 33rd in the nation in total offense
with 431 yards per game.
APLIN EARNS SBC HONOR FOR SECOND
STRAIGHT WEEK: Sophomore quarterback
Ryan Aplin was named the Sun Belt Confer-
ence Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Sept.
20, marking the second straight week he
earned the league’s offensive honor. Aplin
recorded 318 yards of total offense with a rush-
ing and passing touchdown against ULM, while

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.

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 re-
maining 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 be-
fore the break.
Masson broke free for a 60-
yard touchdown run late in the third
quarter 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
touchdown 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
interception ended the Red Wolves'
rally.
Defensively, the Red Wolves
were led by linebacker Javon McK-
innon's nine tackles, which was two
short of his career high. Defensive
lineman Bryan Hall added five
stops, including one quarterback
sack.

GAME 4
TROY, Ala. (09/25/10) — Troy quarterback Corey Robinson’s 17-yard touch-
down pass to running back Shawn Southward with 22 seconds remaining
wiped out a fourth quarter Arkansas State comeback and gave the Trojans
a 35-28 victory over the Red Wolves in Sun Belt Conference action at Vet-
erans Memorial Stadium.
Arkansas State trailed 27-14 when Troy’s Michael Taylor booted a 43-yard
field goal with 14:14 remaining, but the Red Wolves scored two touchdowns
in the final 10 minutes, including a 30-yard touchdown pass from quarterback
Ryan Aplin to wideout Allen Muse with 50 seconds to play that gave the Red
Wolves a 28-27 advantage.
The game was delayed by almost two hours by lightning when the field
was cleared with 3:04 remaining in the second quarter and with Arkansas
State trailing 21-7. The delay lasted one hour and forty-five minutes, and the
Red Wolves were able to cut the Trojan lead to a touchdown when play re-
sumed, then held Troy to a pair of field goals until Southward’s touchdown

in the waning seconds turned back the ASU rally.
Aplin finished the night with 89 yards rushing and 237 yards and two
touchdowns through the air, with Muse hauling in seven passes for 119 yards
and a score.
Troy struck early for its first touchdown, using a 70-yard touchdown pass
from Robinson to slotback Jerrel Jernigan on the Trojans first possession to
jump out to a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the game.
Arkansas State answered with an 11-play, 74-yard drive to tie the score
with 6:31 remaining in the first quarter. Running back Derek Lawson scored
from two yards out to put the Red Wolves on the board and placekicker
Bobby Zalud added the extra point to tie the game at 7-7.
Troy regained the lead when the Trojans moved 92 yards in 15 plays,
scoring on a three-yard pass from quarterback Jamie Hampton to wideout
Tebiarus Gill with 42 seconds remaining in the first quarter, then stretched its
lead to 21-7 when running back Chris Anderson scored on a four-yard run
midway through the second period.
Arkansas State came out of the
lightning delay and marched 54
yards to pull within a touchdown.
Running back Jermaine Robertson
covered the distance in three
plays, including a touchdown run of
14 yards that cut the Troy lead to
21-14 with 1:24 remaining in the
second quarter.
Troy used a 27-yard field goal
from Michael Taylor with 22 sec-
onds remaining in the second quar-
ter to go up 24-14, then made it
27-14 when Taylor connected from
43 yards out with 14:14 to play in
the fourth quarter.
The Red Wolves countered
with a 10-play, 78-yard touchdown
drive that cut the Troy lead to six at
27-21. Aplin ignited the drive with
a 40-yard run to the Troy 38, and
seven plays later, hit tight end
Kedric Murry in the back of the end
zone with a four-yard touchdown
pass with 9:26 remaining.
The Red Wolves defense did
not allow a first down on the ensu-
ing Troy possession, and ASU took
over at its 35 with 8:53 remaining,
but could only drive as far as the
Troy 31 before turning it over on
downs with 5:46 to play.
Arkansas State again held the
Trojans without a first down on the
next Troy possession and took
over at the ASU 23 with 3:56 re-
maining. The Red Wolves moved
down the field in 11 plays, taking
the 28-27 lead on Muse’s touch-
down before Troy answered with
the winning score.
Safety Kelcie McCray posted a
career-best 12 tackles, and line-
backer Javon McKinnon added a
career-best 12 stops to lead the
ASU defense.

GAME 5
JONESBORO, Ark. (10/2/10) — Down 31-7 at the break, Arkansas State
scored 17 consecutive points in the second half, but the Louisville Cardinals
turned back the Red Wolves in the final minutes of the game to secure a 34-
24 victory over ASU before a homecoming crowd of 25,219 at ASU Stadium.
The Red Wolves pulled within a touchdown with just over eight minutes
to go in the game when freshman kicker Bobby Zalud knocked through a
35-yard field goal that trimmed the Louisville lead to 31-24, but the Cardinals
answered with a 46-yard field goal from kicker Chris Philpott with 3:54 re-
maining and ASU was unable to score again.
Arkansas State quarterback Ryan Aplin passed for 209 yards and three
touchdowns in the loss, with sophomore Alan Muse grabbing three passes
for 50 yards and two touchdowns. Senior linebacker Javon McKinnon
recorded a career-high 16 tackles, including two behind the line of scrim-
mage to lead the ASU defensive effort.
Louisville jumped out to a 10-0 first quarter lead, using a 28-yard field goal
from Philpott to put the Cardinals on the board, and an 11-yard touchdown
pass from quarterback Adam Froman to wide receiver Josh Bellamy with
2:43 remaining in the period.
Arkansas State countered with a seven-play 75-yard drive midway
through the second quarter to cut the Louisville lead to 10-7. The Red
Wolves’ touchdown came on a 33-yard pass from Aplin to Muse with 9:19 re-
maining in the first half, but the Cardinals were able to use a fake punt on
their next possession to start a string of three consecutive touchdowns that
gave Louisville a 31-7 advantage at the break.
Facing a fourth-and-three from the ASU 47, Louisville converted on the
fake punt when running back Bilal Powell took the short snap down the left
sideline for the Cardinal touchdown. Louisville made it 24-7 when Powell
hauled in a 57-yard touchdown pass from Froman with 3:18 remaining in
the half, and Froman hooked up with Bellamy again 13 seconds before the
break, this time from 21 yards away for the 31-7 Cardinal advantage.
Arkansas State made it 31-14
when the Red Wolves moved 79
yards on their first possession of
the second half, getting a 15-yard,
Aplin-to-Muse touchdown pass
with 10:19 remaining in the third
quarter.
The Arkansas State defense
helped set up the next Red Wolves
touchdown when it held the Cardi-
nals on a fourth-and-seven from
the ASU 38, and the A-State of-
fense responded with a seven-
play, 68-yard drive that ended in
Aplin’s third touchdown pass of the
night. Aplin kept the drive alive
when he converted a third-and-10
from the Cardinal 38 with an 11-
yard pass to wide receiver Dwayne
Frampton, and two plays later hit
wideout Taylor Stockemer with a
24-yard touchdown pass with 14
seconds to play in the third. Zalud
added his third extra point of the
night to cut the Louisville lead to
31-21.
The A-State defense came up
big again midway through the
fourth when ASU defensive tackle
Bryan Hall sacked Froman and re-
covered Froman’s fumble at the
Cardinals’ 26, setting up a 35-yard
field goal from Zalud with 8:08 re-
maining. Louisville answered with
an 11-play, 55-yard drive that
drained 4:10 from the clock and
stretched the Cardinals lead to 34-
24 with 3:54 to play. The Red
Wolves moved to the ASU 39 on
their next possession, before
Louisville’s Shenard Holton inter-
cepted Aplin at the Cardinals’ 39 to
stop any further threat of an A-
State comeback.
Senior linebacker Javon McKinnon
was named the Sun Belt Conference
Defensive Player of the Week after
recording a career-high 16 tackles, in-
cluding two tackles for loss, against
Louisville.
