Well, let me tell ya, this game between Arkansas State Red Wolves and Troy Trojans was a real nail-biter. It all went down on October 26, 2024, and it was a game to remember, folks. I reckon them boys from Arkansas State showed some real grit that day, winning the game 34-31. That Zak Wallace, I swear, he ran like the wind, and his three touchdowns had the whole crowd jumpin’ up and down. The last one, coming from just a yard out, was the one that sealed the deal for Arkansas State. It was down to the wire, but them Red Wolves pulled through.
Now, let me back up a little and tell ya about the earlier game they played, the one on October 7th, 2023. That day, Troy Trojans came out on top, smackin’ down Arkansas State with a score of 37-3. It wasn’t even close. Kimani Vidal, that boy can run! He had himself a game, racking up 245 yards and three touchdowns. I tell ya, that was a game where Arkansas State just couldn’t get anything going, no matter what they tried. Troy was all over ’em like flies on honey.
But, ya know, this October 26th game, well, it was a whole different story. The Red Wolves came out strong, and Troy had a hard time keepin’ up. The game was close the whole way, and every time one team scored, the other one would answer right back. It was like a back-and-forth tennis match, but with footballs instead of rackets!
The first quarter had both teams makin’ plays, but nobody could break through for a big lead. Arkansas State was really showin’ their heart, especially with that Zak Wallace running like he had a fire lit under him. And let’s not forget about them big boys up front, doin’ the dirty work to clear the way for him. As the game went on, you could feel the tension risin’. The crowd was on edge, not knowin’ which way it would go.
But it wasn’t just about the offense, no sir. Arkansas State’s defense showed up, too. They made some big stops when they needed to, like when Troy was lookin’ to make a push. Troy couldn’t get their rhythm going like they did in the last game, and that gave the Red Wolves a real chance to capitalize.
As the game moved into the final minutes, it was clear that it was gonna come down to the wire. Troy was strugglin’ to stop Wallace, and Arkansas State was takin’ advantage of every little opening. With the clock ticking down, Zak Wallace punched in that final touchdown, and that was all she wrote. A 34-31 victory for Arkansas State.
I’ll tell ya, that game was somethin’ else. You know, not every football game is like that. Some games are blowouts, and some just drag on with no excitement, but this one? Well, this one had the heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat excitement. Both teams played their hearts out, but in the end, it was Arkansas State that came out on top.
So, for all y’all who missed the game, don’t fret. You missed a good one, but I reckon you’ll be hearin’ about it for a while. That’s the beauty of football, ain’t it? You never know what’s gonna happen, and that’s what makes it so thrilling to watch. You just gotta keep your eyes open and enjoy the ride!
