Arkansas State edges Missouri State in an Xbox Bowl thriller, holding off a furious fourth-quarter rally to win 34-28. Jaylen Raynor shines with three touchdown passes, while Corey Rucker caps his collegiate career with a 166-yard, six-catch masterpiece, including a highlight-reel 71-yard TD.

The Red Wolves’ defense, led by an exhausting eight sacks, managed to withstand Missouri State’s late surge despite being on the field for nearly 40 minutes. Is Arkansas State building a winning culture under Butch Jones—or merely hanging on?

Dave Schultz breaks down the game’s wild stats and discusses key offseason questions, including Raynor’s future and the looming transfer portal movement.

Plus, catch breakdowns of Ragin’ Cajuns basketball’s woes, Quannas White’s heated ejection, and Sun Belt hoops matchups to watch.

Can the Cajuns bounce back from a dismal start, and who are the true contenders rising in Sun Belt basketball?
