HEAD COACH STEVE ROBERTSNot long after leading Arkansas State to the 2005 Sun Belt Conference championship and

New Orleans Bowl, head coach Steve Roberts continues to make ASU a dominant force in the SunBelt Conference and has ASU on track for continued success in the upcoming years.

When the 2005 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year took over the program in December2001, he impressed everyone with his wide-eyed enthusiasm and limitless energy. And, most ofall, they believed that Roberts would bring success to the ASU football program. Roberts hasbeen the driving force behind ASU’s recent success, leading the football program to its most vic-tories over a six-year span since 1986-91.

Under Roberts’ direction, ASU continues to add to the achievements that began upon hisarrival. The 2006 and 2007 ASU teams backed up the 2005 Sun Belt championship with non-conference wins over teams such as Army, Memphis and SMU. The 2006 squad knocked off NewOrleans Bowl champion Troy and the 2007 team fell to then-ranked No. 4 Texas by just eightpoints and pushed New Orleans Bowl champion Florida Atlantic to the final minutes.

The 2007 team won the Sun Belt Conference academic award for the fourth time in the lastfive years and finished with the second most yards of total offense in school history.

Roberts already holds the fifth most wins among ASU’s 26 all-time head coaches and has ledthe Red Wolves to a 24-8 record at ASU Stadium, which included a 5-1 record in 2007.

Roberts was named Arkansas State’s 26th head football coach on December 21, 2001.Roberts graduated from Robinson High School in Little Rock. A 1987 graduate of OuachitaBaptist University, where he was an Academic All-American, Roberts received his masters fromSAU in 1989. He and his wife Sherri have one daughter – Abby (13).

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (8/30/08) – The first game of a new era pro-vided what was arguably the biggest victory in the long history of ArkansasState University football.

Playing its first football game as the Red Wolves, Arkansas State left78,691 Texas A&M fans at Kyle Field stunned, defeating the Aggies 18-14 inthe season opener for both teams. Texas A&M had won its last 20 homeopeners, and the loss was just the fourth defeat for the Aggies in their last50 non-conference games at home.

Arkansas State got its only touchdown of the night when it needed it themost.

After penetrating the Texas A&M 30-yard line five times and comingaway with three field goals and two turnovers, Arkansas State went on topto stay when junior quarterback Corey Leonard connected with senior widereceiver Kevin Jones from 15 yards out, giving the Red Wolves a 15-14 leadwith 4:39 to play.

A missed two-point conversion attempt proved inconsequential when aTexas A&M turnover on its next possession led to junior Josh Arauco’sfourth field goal of the night. Arauco’s kick boosted the ASU lead to 18-14,and Arkansas State forced another turnover on the Aggies’ final drive toseal the win.

Junior tailback Reggie Arnold rushed 21 times for 145 yards on the night,Leonard added 86 yards on the ground to go along with 160 passing yards,and Arauco was a perfect 4-for-4 in the game. His four field goals were acareer high.

Arkansas State scored on the game’s first possession when the RedWolves drove 60 yards to set up Arauco’s first field goal. Arkansas Stateused a 19-yard completion from junior quarterback Corey Leonard to jun-ior wideout Jahbari McLennan on third-and-six from the ASU 35 to keepthe drive alive.

A two-yard keeper by Leonard on fourth-and-one at the Aggie 37 againkept the possession alive, and Leonard passed complete for 15 yards toJones on the next play to set up Arauco’s field goal. Arauco’s kick wrappedup the 13-play drive and put the Red Wolves on top 3-0 with 8:45 remain-ing in the opening quarter.

Texas A&M answered with an 8-play drive that ended when junior tail-back Mike Goodson scored from nine yards out to put the Aggies on theboard. Senior Richie Bean added the extra point for the 7-3 A&M lead with6:20 to play in the first period.

The Aggies made it 14-3 with 4:23 remaining in the half when Goodsonscored again, this time from seven yards out to wrap up a 12-play, 77-yarddrive.

Arkansas State took advantage of an interception by junior defensiveback M.D. Jennings midway through the third quarter to cut the TexasA&M advantage to 14-6.

Jennings picked off a pass from A&M quarterback Stephen McGee at theASU 41 to give the Red Wolves possession of the ball and ASU marched 47yards on nine plays to set up Arauco’s second field goal of the night. Araucoconnected from 28 yards out on the kick to cut the deficit to 14-8 with 5:28remaining in the third.

Junior safety Marcus Brown forced a fumble by Texas A&M wide receiv-er Howard Morrow on the Aggies’ next drive, and the ball was recovered byASU defensive end Jeremy Gibson to set up the Red Wolf offense at theAggie 47.

Arkansas State moved 39 yards on the possession, with 32 of those yardscoming on a run from Leonard to the Texas A&M 15, and Arauco complet-ed the possession with his third field goal of the night. Arauco’s kick wasgood from 29 yards out, trimming the Texas A&M lead to 14-9 with 14 sec-onds to go in the third quarter.

Texas A&M went three-and-out on its next possession and Bean missedwide on a 27-yard field goal attempt the next time the Aggies had the ball,setting the stage for ASU’s game-winning drive.

Taking over at the ASU 20 with 9:30 remaining, Leonard directed theRed Wolves 80 yards in 10 plays on a drive that consumed 4:51 seconds onthe clock. Arnold rushed for 44 yards on the drive and Leonard hooked upwith McLennan for 15 yards and a first down at the A&M 21 on fourth-and-13 from the Aggie 36 to keep the possession going.

Senior defensive back Dominique Williams led Arkansas State with ninetackles on the night, junior defensive back Daylan Walker added seven, sen-ior linebacker Ben Owens also had seven to go along with a fumble recoveryand the game-clinching interception, and junior defensive back Evan VanDolah had six stops.

Kevin Jones hauled in the game-winning pass, a 15-yardreception with 4:39 left in the game.
