Arkansas State vs Memphis Preview
The matchup will be one of just five Division I college football games on Saturday, as the Big Ten and Pac-12 postponed their seasons and the ACC, Big 12, and SEC delayed theirs. Other schools have taken it upon themselves to cancel their seasons.
Those decisions have rendered Memphis as arguably Saturday’s biggest draw for those clamoring for college football; they’re coming off a 12-1 campaign — 7-1 in AAC play — that saw them capture the conference title and reach the Cotton Bowl, where they fell to the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Tigers closed the 2019 season ranked No. 17 in the nation.
“It should be on a national stage given the fact that we’re one of the premier teams playing at that time versus a premier opponent,” Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield said of Saturday’s contest, according to The Commercial Appeal.
Arkansas State went 8-5 overall and 5-3 in Sun Belt action a year ago, closing their season with a victory over the FIU Panthers in the Cramton Bowl.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Shelby County Health Department mandated a 12-foot social-distancing policy at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, which will limit attendance to about 4,500, or roughly 7 percent of its typical capacity.
On Aug. 9, a group of Red Wolves players, identifying themselves as the team’s leadership council, released a statement stressing their desire to play out the 2020 season.
“Representing our fellow teammates at Arkansas State University, our football team’s Leadership Council can say with overwhelming conviction that not only do we want to play the 2020 season, but that we are also confident the appropriate steps are being taken to ensure we do so in a safe manner with everyone’s health and well-being the top priority,” the council said in a statement posted on the school’s athletics department website on Aug. 9.
“We understand very important national conversations taking place at this time will determine the future of our season. We are respectfully issuing this unified message advocating to play the season so that our opinions and feelings on the matter may be heard by those making the decisions on how best to proceed.
“We want it to be understood that our Arkansas State coaching staff, administration, doctors and trainers have been entirely transparent through this process, explaining the risks involved and the appropriate steps and measures being taken to reduce those risks. We 100 percent believe that these precautions have been effective and would allow for us to play with health and safety being at the forefront of everything we do.”
