This will mark the third consecutive year that ASU has played an SEC school, and the 49th all-time meeting with a current school in the SEC. It’s the second time Arkansas State has played Alabama, the first time in 1982, losing 35-7. This game may bring the second largest crowd to watch ASU, second to Tennessee in 2007.[1]
