Arkansas State vs. Troy updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

Live scores, highlights and updates from the Arkansas State vs. Troy football game

The Troy Trojans and the Arkansas State Red Wolves are even-steven against one another since November of 2016 (2-2), but not for long. Troy and the Red Wolves will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Centennial Bank Stadium. Troy has a defense that allows only 16.64 points per game, so Arkansas State's offense will have their work cut out for them.

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks typically have all the answers at home, but last week Troy proved too difficult a challenge. Troy took down the Warhawks 34-16. RB Kimani Vidal went supernova for the Trojans as he rushed for two TDs and 241 yards on 29 carries.

Troy's defense was a presence as well, as it got past Louisiana-Monroe's offensive line to sack QB Chandler Rogers five times for a total loss of 40 yards. It was a group effort with four guys contributing.

Meanwhile, the Red Wolves were close but no cigar last week as they fell 16-13 to the Texas State Bobcats. No one had a standout game offensively for Arkansas State, but RB Johnnie Lang Jr. led the way with one touchdown.

The Trojans are the favorite in this one, with an expected 13.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (3-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Troy's win lifted them to 9-2 while Arkansas State's loss dropped them down to an irreparable 3-8. We'll see if Troy's success rolls on or if Arkansas State is able to steal their positive momentum.
