JONESBORO, Ark. — Arkansas State needed a little time to get going Saturday night.
Once the Red Wolves did, West Georgia had no answer.
Arkansas State turned a relatively close game into a rout with a dominant second half, forcing a string of turnovers and piling up 256 rushing yards on the way to a 52-7 victory at Centennial Bank Stadium.
The 45-point victory was the second-largest margin of victory during coach Butch Jones’ tenure at Arkansas State.
It was a game Jones described afterward as “probably the most bizarre 52-7 game” he had been a part of.
