I’d like to encourage our fan base to show up and make it feel like we have a home field advantage.” A huge play in the Arkansas State game came shortly after Troy had taken a 20-19 lead in the first minute of the fourth quarter following a touchdown run by Kimani Vidal. On the next series, Troy cornerback Reddy Steward picked off a pass and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown.
“We had kind of been in a back and forth game. We did not play very good football in the first half, and credit to Arkansas State. But we played really poor football in the first half in my opinion from an execution and detail standpoint. “Just like after the App State game when things didn’t go our way, I told them, ‘So what, now what?’” Sumrall said. “Well, you don’t just say that when things bad happen … what happens when good things happen? Well, ‘So what, now what?’ Nobody cares that we beat Arkansas State now. That’s over.
“I think he is going to have a real good chance to play in the bowl game,” Sumrall said. “Not a guarantee, but a good chance. A lot of that depends on which bowl game we’re in, too.
