Arkansas State grinds out 23-13 win over Southern Miss
HATTISBURG, Miss. (AP) — Clune Van Andel's three field goals proved crucial as Arkansas State edged out Southern Mississippi with a 23-13 triumph on Saturday night. Van Andel kicked field goals from 29, 40, and 44 yards, while Kenyon Clark and Timothy Carter contributed with rushing touchdowns. The Red Wolves (3-4, 1-2 Sun Belt Conference) managed five punts, four resulting in three-and-out drives.
Despite having five scoring drives with between seven and 13 plays each, Southern Miss's (1-5, 0-2) final 7:21 of the game extended their time of possession by 20 minutes. However, their 14-play drive to the Southern Miss 11-yard line failed to secure a victory. Steven Robinson added a rushing touchdown for Arkansas State, while Landry Lyddy threw for 208 yards and two interceptions for the Golden Eagles.
Arkansas State's next game is against Georgia State next Saturday, and Southern Miss will host Louisiana-Lafayette the following week.
